Catherine is having her traditional school holiday visit with her God-mother. I've been doing stuff.Making a jumper at the moment. It's from the Lionbrand website. 1000's of quality free patterns, found here.
Also got around to starching the doilies I made a while ago. They take a couple of days to dry. To make starch just boil a tablespoon of cornflour with about 2 cups of water.
Went and bought some seedlings for the garden....
which I spent the day preparing the garden bed for.
And came up with a recipe to get through the masses of rubbarb we have in our garden.
(It's really just a cherry slice I changed a bit, from an Alison Holst recipe).
Here it is:
BASE:
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup sugar
200g melted butter
Mix this together, spread onto a tin and cook at 350 degrees F. for 15 mins.
FILLING:
10 large stalks of rubbarb
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Boil this untill soft and spread over cooked base
TOPPING:
1 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
50 g melted butter
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon almond essence
1/2 tsp mixed spice
Spoon this over the top of the mixture using 2 spoons, and flatten with a fork.
Bake at 350 degrees F. or 180 degrees C. for 20-30 mins.
Scrummy as!

Sooooooooooooo impressed! nice one you. LOVE the jumper. crochet?
I am drooling at the thought of making this. I love rhubarb in any way, shape or form. Thanks for sharing your recipe - it sounds like a great way to enjoy a favorite veggie/fruit.
hey Luarna, yup, crochet of coarse... can't knit a jumper yet, although I have just started knitting socks tonight to learn how, as a consider myself quite proficient at crochet now!
Funny Peg, we have so much of the stuff I don't know what to do with it!!
