Happy days today.
Anais' new Hudl stopped charging on Wednesday night. You may remember she had a replacement not long ago as the screen broke. Mark phoned them yesterday and a new one was delivered today 2.30pm. Thank You Tesco, Customer Service is brilliant.
I bought a flan case in the week so today we made a Giant Jaffa Cake! Looking online the recipe is based on a Gary Rhodes recipe though I didn't follow it exactly.
The original recipe is -
1 packet orange jelly cut into squares
375 ml/ 13 oz orange juice
275g/ 10 oz plain chocolate pieces
350ml/ 12 oz double cream
1 25cm/ 10 in sponge flan case
pouring cream to serve
raspberries or strawberries to garnish
mint leaves
We used -
1 packet of orange jelly
no orange juice as Roman not keen on too much orange so 285ml boiling water
200g chocolate - 100g milk chocolate and 100g dark chocolate as Anais not keen on too much dark chocolate
300ml double cream
flan case
Before school Anais made the orange jelly. She lined a pie/enamel dish with cling film and used an Asda sachet of orange jelly with 285ml boiling water. This was left to set all day while she was at school.

When she got home from school she turned the jelly out onto a flan case and peeled off the cling film. The jelly had set and was domed.
I bought a 300ml pot of cream (the recipe called for 350ml). Anais melted half with 200g (recipe said 275g) of chocolate.............
................while Roman whisked the remaining cream.
When the chocolate mixture had cooled it was mixed with the whisked cream...........
..............and poured over the jelly into the flan case.
It was left to set for a couple of hours and then we cut it open.
It was ab-so-lutely de-lish-ous!
Earlier this week we bought two boxes of fireworks and some sparklers. Tonight we used one box so the other box can be used for Christmas or New Year. We also lit the chimnea in the back garden whilst eating our tea so we were warm - hot dogs, onion rings and onion bhaji's.
We lit Fred so it was nice and warm when we came in.................
