We've had a little run of ill health at Becca Towers for some reason. I had a very sore stomach for no real reason all day Sunday so lay on the couch or took a nap or two during the day. The rest of the Team were fine, so they went off ice-skating without me. Then whilst there, Mr Becca fell over and twisted his ankle. And had to take a day off work, and nearly made us visit A&E (Casualty) but felt it was more likely to be sprained than fractured. Then last night the girls had trouble sleeping due to head colds, with Mini-1 also waking up crying with ear pain. I kept them both off school today and got an early morning doctor's appointment for her, and she was duly prescribed banana-tasting (but horrible regardless) anti-biotics for the suspected infection. Nice, not. So a sofa, dressing gowns and dvd's day for them.
Preferring to a) keep out of their way so I didn't get ill and b) having housework to get on with, I spent some alone time in the Kitchen. And instead of making mini cupcakes for their end-of-term class parties, I opted for chocolate dipped pretzels (again). Though this time, I went for sticks rather than twirls, and a variation on the colouring so it looked less Italian.
I had more of the red and green chocolate leftover, so whipped up a quick batch of peppermint bark, in milk chocolate this time. More Jackson Pollock type manoeuvres, then the girls loved eating the little bit of leftover vanilla-flavoured coloured chocolate at the end.
This time I not only included the crushed candy canes, but also some red sanding sugar and some red and green little cupcake sprinkles.
