Weekend Tasks


Hi Room 22,
I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful sunshine - it's hard to believe that a few days ago we had sleet and snow falling!
I am looking forward to reading your information reports. Remember, these need to be handed in by 9am on Monday morning - if not, you will be spending lunchtime getting these completed. You can either hand publish them, print them out or e-mail them to me (bethwatson25@gmail.com). If you e-mail them, I will be able to post them on the blog for you.
I know I told a couple of people about a delicious dessert that I have been making lately. They are called choco-hoto-pots and are a Nigella Lawson recipe.
Here's the recipe as promised (and warning, they are VERY rich!!)

115 grams of butter
1 cup of chocolate chips (preferably dark chocolate chips)
2 eggs
3/4 cup castor sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 200 degrees C.

Butter the ramekins (i just used coffee mugs that could be put in the oven).

Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pot over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter, then set aside to cool a little.

In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.

Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve. Make sure to warn people that these desserts will be HOT! I often put a small scoop of vanilla ice-cream into the cup when I serve them:-)



Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I hope that sports games have gone well for everyone.

See you Monday,

Ms Watson
