Great day was had by all ..........we had to be at the Southport Salvos by 8.30am to leave by 9am
2 small buses left.....when we arrived at the show ground...you could feel excitement was building with the ladies ...the cost was $5.00 to enter and included morning tea...well my hat off to all the ladies that put the show together ...for a country town it was worth going...the quilts are to die for ..and ideas .. my head is still spinning ......and little stalls selling their products...a bus called The Big Red Bus set up outside with material and bits and pieces.......Well done Beenleigh Quilt Group ..............Pat yourselves on the back ....................

THE 5 MINUTE
CHOCOLATE CAKE FOR ONE PERSON.....
I received this recipe from Karen
thought with the cold weather
I would share
Enjoy


5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE4 tablespoons flour - use SR flour4 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 (MicroSafe) -use 2 mugs
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!
