Bloglines




RSS feeds.... none of this is getting any easier, just much more complicated. I have somehow managed to get my 5 RSS feeds happening but I think it is more by accident than skill (some quote thingy and the Museum thingy included) I don't think I would use this at all. Between checking the blog, checking my flickr account (yahoo), checking my gmail account and now checking my Bloglines account I think I will go insane even before I check out the 3 active email accounts I already had before this process began not to mention my Ebay and Paypal account!!! Where did the simple life go? Just yesterday I was thinking about all the things we now have to recharge... the camera, the mobile, the laptop, the electric shaver!!!! Please God, let week 5 not involve having to create any more accounts. I don't think I can make it!

The choir is singing... I finally got a picture off flicker. This has been one of the most tedious net experiences I've every had. It should be easier! I think this is where I gave up in Learning 2.0 during my first attempt at completing the exercise.

fingers crossed now!

Emmy in her Barbie Bed

This photo was taken a couple of years ago. Emmy is now 15 years old, has a heart condition and is a cancer survivor. This photo was taken at her Nanny and Pops!

Recipe. I love Florentines!!

Florentine Biscuits

¾ cup sultanas
2 cups cornflakes
¾ cup peanuts/chopped
½ cup red glace cherries (100 grams)
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
Mix all ingredients together.

On baking paper spread 5cms apart.
Cook 8-10 minutes or until brown at 170 degree Celsius.
Let cool on tray before peeling off.
If the Florentines stick to the baking paper try another brand of baking paper.

Topping - Melt 150 grams dark chocolate and spread on biscuits when they are cool.
