A mixed bunch today

Well today has been pretty much your average day.....HOWEVER..... Today is the first day of Lent, also known as Ash Wednesday on the Church Calendar, and I was so very proud to watch Kaitlyn do a reading at the Liturgy of the Word service this morning. She walked up to the podium, opened her order of service and then proceeded to do her reading without looking at it once!! Yup she had memorized the whole thing!!!!

Today I also received the photos of Kaitlyn taken for her dance concer last year and let me tell you it is hard to remember she was only JUST 7 at the time they were taken!!! Here take a look at a few of them.....

See I told you she looked gorgeous!!! Not that I would be biased or anything.....well OK yeah I am biased but I am allowed to be......you can be sure that these photos will be turning up in some LO's very, very soon!!!

Have you ever gotten the muchies and maybe fancied a bit of chocolate cake???. The following recipe was posted over at Hybrid Designs Forum recently by "rainbowdolphin".

DANGEROUS 5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well.

Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

I have to admit that I have yet to make it as I haven't had the urge for cake but I have got the recipe on the fridge!!!

Well thats it for today folks so wherever you may be take care...........
