Best thing you can make from Lidls.
another recipe. I get everything for this from Lidl, but I expect most places would sell them!
Easy Cheesecake.
1 tub Strawberry Quark
1 tub mascapone cheese
1 pack gingernuts
2oz butter
Kiwi fruit (optional)
Smash the gingernuts with a rolling pin, or a food processer. Melt the butter, and mix it in to the gingernut crumbs, then tip it all into a dish, a tin with a removable base is good, bu hardly vital, and press down lightly with a spoon. Bung it in the fridge.
Whisk the quark and mascapone (or ricotta if you like it better) together with a mixer. Try and get a bit of air into it. Then tip it on top of the biscuit layer, and bung it back in the fridge.
If you have got kiwis, peel and slice them, and stick them on top. Or strawberries, I don't care. When it's cold, cut it up and eat it. It's good.

My favourite Ice Cream Recipe.
Part of me doesn't want to post this, because it's so good, and so easy! But chances are that nobody will read it, so it will stay my secret recipe anyway!
Toffee Ice Cream
ingredients: 1 tin condensed milk
1 pot double cream.
Put the tin of condensed milk into a pan of water, and boil it for 30-45 minutes, depending how strong you want the toffee taste. If you get scared about boiling a tin, pierce the lid a couple times to let the steam out, but trust me, it doesn't need to be done! Don't let it boil dry though.
Once the time is up, turn off the heat, and let it cool.
When the milk is cool, open the tin, and scoop the toffee (thats what it is!) into a bowl, and add the cream. Mix using an electric mixer, until it looks like melted ice cream. Either pour it into an ice cream maker, or a freezer proof tub.
If you use an ice cream maker, just let it work. If you don't have one, put the tub into the freezer for about an hour, then remove it, and give the mixture a quick going over with the mixer again, put it back int the freezer, and repeat after another hour.
The ice cream is fabulous. Make it. Eat it. Love it!

In 2007, the frilled shark was 'rediscovered', after scientists had said it was extinct for the past 80 million years! Looking at it, I reckon it would go a long way towards explaining so many of the reports of sea monsters logged since man took to boats, those things the experts always say are imagination or at best a case of sailors misidenifying a known creature. I love it when scientists look stupid. Hopefully, one day they wil have to do a U-turn on the Yeti, like they did once about the lowland gorilla!

Weird Dream!
Last night I dreamt...
I was working at the hospital, and had to sit with a lady who was about to die. There were no other staff around, and I just sat there chatting away to her for ages, then I suddenly wondered if I should have been at college doing an evening course, I tried to get in touch with my best friend to ask her, because she was on the same course, but couldn't reach her, so I checked my diary, which showed that I was a few years late, then the diary turned to stone.
I hitched a lift to college ( which looked like it was in South America) on a rusty old van, got there early, and watched the fish in the river. There were two fish that I knew, Burt and one called Little 'un. Burt was a white fish the size of a large Koi, he climbed onto a jetty and got inside an old tire that was there. This turned into a seal costume, and he jumped back into the river dressed as a seal.
I knew the river was polluted, and that there was a fish disease in the water. A man from the govrnment turned up, and pourd a bucket of poison into the water, to kill off the fish, so he could get rid of the disease. I ran down the jetty, and grabbed Burt, in his seal costume, which disolved from the chemicals in the water. Then I grabbed Little 'un, but he was dead already, and looked like a dog foetus.
The man from the government took me and Burt with him to his office, and made me go to bed. I knew I was asleep in his bed, but my breathing was really fast. The government man was next to me in the bed, monitoring me, and making notes.
I woke up, the government man was surprised I hadn't died from the poison. I went to look at Burt, he had turned into a dead dog. I felt a huge sadness, and woke up.
I don't usually remember my dreams at all, but this weird thing stayed in my head. Maybe it's a good thing I don't always remember them!
I can work out a lot of the dream, the hospital is where I used to work, the dieing lady represents the hospice I will be working at. Burt is a koi in the pond I looked after at the hospital, and I did a course with my best friend at college a few years ago, I guess my subconcious wants me to do another soon. But the rest of it, no idea!
