Stitching 18/07/2007

So we had a record number of stitchers/princessi last night for stitch 'n bitch. There was Princess Bek, Princess Eleri, Princess Viv, Princess Lemily, Princess Kathrine, Princess Kate and the hostess for the evening, moi, Princess Alana. It was very cosy in my living room as this pic attests:



Princess Katherine (apologises if your name is misspelt, I know there is like a million ways of spelling Katherine) was honoured by Princess consort cat Matilda who very rarely honours her own Princessi with a lap sit and Princess Emily (right) was joined by consort cat Moonshe, who is a lap slut



Here are some pics of Princessi in stitching (and sometimes bitching) action




And all the hard work was rewarded with a dessert that my mum used to make for me called:

Chocolate Crunch

Ingredients:
1 cup self raising flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 cup coconut
1 cup cornflakes
1/2 cup sugar
150g butter
6 drops vanilla

Icing:
2 cups icing mixture
2 tablespoons cocoa
enough water to make a fairly runny icing

Method:
1. Sift flour and cocoa and mix all other dry ingredients into a bowl.
2. Gently melt butter then mix with other ingredients, add vanilla at this step.
3. Press mixture into baking tray and flatten until approximately 1 & 1/2 cm thick.
4. Bake in oven 180 degrees celcius for 25-30 minutes.
5. Pour chocolate icing over slice whilst still warm.
6. When icing and slice has cooled, cut into bite sized slices (or bigger as I like to do!)



Mmmmmmmmm. Delicious!
