Easy baby booties

While he napped today, I made some cute little baby booties from scraps that I had left in my stash. I found the pattern over at www.sascha-lovetoknit.blogspot.com
I made them in just over an hour.

Bananna & Chocolate cake

Tonight we had a go at making our first banana cake. We tasted the mixture and thought it tasted too strong, so we added dark chocolate. It was quite a wet mixture and took far longer to bake than I thought it would.

My 6 year old and I made up the recipe as we went along. We used:-

175g caster sugar
175g butter
3 eggs
and mixed it all together. Then
175g self raising flower
2 mashed very ripe bananas
8 chunks of Bournville chocolate all chopped up.

we baked it for 45/55 minutes on 180 (fan assisted).

Yum!
