Wordless Wednesday

For Karen

A friend flicked me this today ;)

I didn't really have a blog post but needed to get rid of the hot chips blog post title!

Slushie's and Hot Chips.

Not overly multi-cultural but that's what our girls wanted to eat. We went to the multi-cultural festival on Saturday night with friends and enjoyed ourselves with half of Canberra. So packed it wasn't funny!

The festival has gone from strength and is just huge now compared to how little it was when I went as a child. Nice to see the festival evolving over time.

First Day

Schools started off well this year. The first year when all 3 are at the same school. Oh the joy that brings! All three are happy with their respective teachers and we have quickly settled into the 'at school' routine.

During the holidays Squealy received a letter from his teacher. It was so cute, as it asked him to send her a picture. This is what he drew. Squealy is on the right. His teacher is actually blond :) Loving the smiles!

Suzyboo's White Chocolate Fudge

White Chocolate Fudge

250g butter, chopped
2 x 395g cans sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup golden syrup
2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

1. Line a 20 x 30cm pan with baking paper. Make sure the paper extends over the sides for easy removal of the fudge.

2. Combine the butter, condensed milk, golden syrup and brown sugar in a large saucepan.

3. Place over a low heat and stir until the butter has melted. Keep stirring until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly.

4. Remove from the heat and add the white chocolate. Whisk the mixture until the white chocolate melts and the fudge is smooth.

5. Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth with a knife of you need to. Cool at room temperature (takes hours) and then chill for 2-3 hours in the fridge until firm.

6. Cut into squares of the desired size and enjoy.
