It seemed odd not to
have have the Dungeoneers meeting here today and it will be even
stranger tomorrow as,due to the bad weather and my sons current
infirmity there will be no games at all this weekend. My poor boy is
miserable ,but I am glad as I think he needs to rest as much as he
can before he returns to work.
Days and nights of pain
have left him exhausted and as he is still taking large doses of pain
killers he is finding it a;most impossible to concentrate.
He is insistent that he
will go to work on Sunday, fool that he is,for all the hanks he will
get for dragging himself out of bed to make an almost two hour
journey in the freezing cold he might as well have a duvet day!
Of course he will not
listen to me and so I shall not nag,well,not much!
For myself I too need a
rest,after a more than usually busy week I feel less than energetic,I
am hoping for a long lie in tomorrow...we shall see.
I made a large batch of
white bread today and as I had a little dough left over I made some
Chelsea Buns,sticky and delicious,next time you make bread have a go.
You will need
A square cake tin 8x8
about 1lb of white
bread dough
a hand full of raisins
3 oz butter
2oz granulated sugar
egg white to brush
For the glaze
2 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of
granulated sugar]
caster sugar to
sprinkle.
Knead the dough into a
ball then roll out on a floured surface into an oblong shape 10”x
5”.
Dot the surface with
the butter then sprinkle on the sugar and raisins. Roll into a
sausage shape and then cut in to 6 equal pieces, Place side by side
in the prepared tin cut side up.
Brush with a little egg
white and bake in the oven at 220oC for fifteen minutes.
Dissolve the granulated
sugar in the milk and brush on to the buns while they are still hot
then sprinkle on the caster sugar at once. Leave to cool the serve
with butter.
