We're having a street party Monday . Bunting and flags and all that. 12 households and YoungNells and some of the other kids playing God Save the Queen after a toast of whatever.
Have just been told I've been designated to provide a sweet. Some have been asked for salads , others for BBQ stuff. OMG what to cook! This is the issue.
First thoughts are for a summer flan . A flan bake case made with traditional victoria sponge mix and then lightly soaked with rum, sugar and lemon juice. Fresh fruits of strawberries, blueberries, grapes and cubed fresh pineapple covered in a jelly made from a mix of pomegranate and orange juice. Guess I better also provide a pint of pouring cream!
The other choice is to make cornflake Krackolates in little cake cases . Cornflakes stirred into melted dark chocolate with a dollop of treacle or honey and then spooned into cake cases and allowed to cool and set. Haven't made them since I was a kid!
We have a republican living nearby who is regarding us all with a jaudiced eye. We should, he says, be looking to elect our Head of State. We all thought about it around here and asked him who he would suggest for election, tony blair, prescott, gordon brown perhaps cameron.
Trouble is none of them look good when set beside a diminutive lady who has pledged her whole life to public service.
She looks even better when you compare her service to that of people like mugabe or gaddafi or assad .
Long may she Reign!
