Having a Truffle-Good Time

Good Afternoon all you lovely people and thank you for stopping by for today's post.

As you may have guessed by the picture, we have a little something we are working on, partly from our love of cooking and partly because, well, who doesn't love truffles.

Today we made some truffles and I am sharing the recipe with you lovely people, along with seeing what sort of interest there is for these if we were to sell them. O and what do you think of the name? Catchy huh?

Ingredients:

300ml double cream
30g unsalted butter
300g chocolate (your choice of flavour)

Method:

Heat together the cream and butter over a pan of simmering water, being careful to not let the water dry or touch the bottom of the pan.
Once the cream and butter are combined add in the chocolate either chunked or grated.
Add in any flavouring e.g. vanilla, coffee, toffee, orange, mint, etc.
Pour over cream and stir gently until chocolate is melted - to melt anything unmelted, simply keep the bowl above the heat until fully combined.
1-3 hours later in a cool fridge and the truffles can be scooped to roll and then dusted with many toppings or dipped in chocolate.

Feel free to share your creations and do let me know what you think of our snack shop idea.

Love and light to you all :)

New Year Rune Reading

Good evening one and all and thank you for joining me and sticking by me, it really means a lot to me. I have something slightly different for today's blog, in the form of a rune reading.

Some of you may be aware that I recently started selling on Fiverr (I will include the link down below for those who may be interested) and I offer personalised rune readings. I also offer custom colouring pages as well if that is of interest :)

So I decided to sit down in the quiet and ask the angels and spirits to guide me in a rune reading for the year ahead, this can be taken however it fits in with your life.

The reading was as follows and I included the meanings:

Uruz - U - Brute Strength
Strength, home love on all sides, health, changes, a forceful masculine archetype.

Mannaz - M - The Nature of Humanity
The self and its place in the collective conscience of humanity. We are all part of the collective unconscious - We are all One. Your attitude towards and their attitude towards you. Take this time for personal reflection.

Jera - J or Y - The Cycle of One Year
Reaping of a reward when your world seems stagnant, harvest the seeds you have planted, gain, fruition, things happening in their own time and space when they are supposed to.

I really hope this will be of some use to you.

Sending many positive blessings for the year ahead 💖

Love and light to you all.

Christmas Is Coming!

Good Evening one and all and thank you for joining me and sticking by me.

Too soon? Perhaps but then Christmas has been in the shops for months already.

I had a rather productive afternoon, with the help of the other one barking orders at me (he will love me telling you that ha)

I decided to try my hand at baking only this time with an actual design, something neither of us have done before. So we made a little wintry, Christmassy wonderland scene with holly, berries, trees and presents made using fondant topping the cake, a cupcake with holly and berries which also has green sponge and a yule log on the side.

For this we just used our basic cake mix which also happens to be vegetarian/vegan friendly if you use appropriate substitutes.

This recipe also happens to be in my cookbook, along with many other sweet recipe ideas. I will include the link down below.

All the sponges were made using the same recipe and then flavoured accordingly:

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of butter (or you can use a vegetarian/vegan alternative)
2 teaspoons of oil (we used sunflower oil)
2 teaspoons of flour
A dash of milk or suitable alternative
Vanilla
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Method:
You can use 2 eggs but they aren't required as the cake comes out moist and cooked through.

Cream the butter and sugar together.
Add the flour and baking powder and combine, I use the back of a spoon and press down to bring it together.
Add the oil and milk and mix together to form a cake batter.
If you are using flavouring this can be added, for the main cake we used vanilla and for the yule log we followed the same steps and added cocoa powder for the chocolate sponge.
Place in the oven at 180C and bake for around 18 minutes.

Once the sponge is cooled you can add any decorations or frosting you wish. Our main cake we used jam and vanilla frosting to layer the sponge. For the yule log we added a chocolate frosting on top and through the sponge.

Using a green fondant we covered the cake and cupcake first before adding the design. The cherries and presents we used a white fondant which we coloured with food colouring. Once we finished the design and had it all assembled we then sprinkled over icing sugar to create a real Christmassy scene.

This was how it looked before we added the yule log and dusting.

And the finished product.

I must admit, we are rather pleased with ourselves considering this was our first attempt.

Let me know what you think and feel free to show off your own creations, would love to see how you get on.

Spiritual Awakening and Manifestation

Good Afternoon everyone, thank you for sticking by me. I will endeavor to start posting on a more regular basis and plan on having another Can't Cook Wont Cook up next week for you all to try. Anyway today's blog is slightly different, but also fits in with other blog posts so I hope you will stick with it as I am sure it will benefit you all greatly.

I wanted to be honest with people, especially those that mean a lot to me. Since Kev's spiritual awakening things have been particularly strange, only I found out something on this 3 year journey.

I wanted to keep it quiet, have have been for a while, for fear of ridicule but I know that I am in the right place to share.
Not only does Kev visit me in my dreams to tell me about it the next day without my saying.
Not only does he see spirit with his eyes, seeing through his eyelids (lol at his training for that!), moving things with his mind, using universal energy to heal others, teaches others about his experiences as a shamanic healer and multidimensional teacher, who frequently visits beyond the veil.
If this doesn't sound crazy enough he teaches people to change their hair colour, eye colour, body shape, heal ANY PHYSICAL AILMENT OR ILLNESS and even life events at will - and that's not mentioning the dozen books he's written, made hundreds of videos, thousands of pages of notes and artwork. And I started to change my eye colour to a brilliantly bright golden red colour.

Back to the point, he came across a technique that has caused many things to happen very quickly for him. Though there is a catch, for him to teach me, he was having to share what he had learned and that I would have to share it after.
If I did, I'd be rewarded and if I didn't let's say I wouldn't be rewarded... so here it is -
"Thank you father technique"

Step 1 - Decide exactly what you want
Step 2 - Repeat thank you father in your mind over and over again
Step 3 - Write list of desired outcome as though its here "I won £1,000,000 today" "I have a healthy, harmonious body" "several miracles came at once"
Step 4 - Repeat thank you father before and after each stage/each intention
Step 5 - Leave list of desired outcomes in a place that gets sun/moonlight
Step 6 - Remember to say thank you father again and again throughout your day.
Step 7 - Give thanks for receiving the outcomes now
Step 8 - Repeat everyday and watch what happens.

Kev has manifested several things and shared what he learned with me so I could share it with you.

I hope, in fact, I know you will benefit.

Test it for yourself and see.
I love you,
Dan

Can't Cook Won't Cook

Good Afternoon everyone,

Apologies for the absence, things have been rather busy here. I have now undertaken a new venture for the purpose of this blog, with the help of the other one and Mave involving my favourite thing, FOOD.

They will each create and cook an item of food, and I shall be judging said food, what could be better. Of course they also wanted to judge each other's, and there may have been a hint of bribery involved, all in good fun of course.

This week was all about the biscuits, chocolate covered to be precise.

First up we have Mave's:

I gave these a score of 4 out of 5. They were perfectly crisp, melt in the mouth and buttery with the right balance of chocolate. But they were messy and not very well presented, need neatening up a bit. The decorative sweets also were too hard and weren't really needed.

The other one also gave a score of 4 out of 5 and said they were a tad messy but tasted buttery. He also did not like the sweets on top.

Next up we have The Other One's:

For this one, as much as I hate to admit it, I gave a score of 5 out of 5. They were perfectly soft and crumbly with a delicate buttery taste and good balance of chocolate. Although me being a chocoholic would happily have had them smothered in it. They could, however, be much better presented and far neater.

Mave said that for the texture she would give 4 out of 5, with 5 out of 5 for taste and 4 out of 5 for the topping, commenting that they were nice and crumbly.
