Mathew
seems to have misunderstood the idea of the Easter holidays. He thinks today is
the last day he ever has to go to school... That could cause a few issues when
he has to go back in April, but we'll deal with that when we get to it.
I hate to be all negative, but my God there are some abominations available in
the Easter aisle of our local supermarket. I used to work in that industry and
I understand the thinking behind all this, and I'm not in the least bit
religious, but even I am feeling a bit unsettled by 'White Chocolate and
Raspberry Cheesecake style Hot Cross Buns'. For a start, there's nothing natural
in them, they're just pumped full of artificial flavourings and additives, and
for another thing - why mess about with hot cross buns at all? Why do you feel
the need to ADD anything to a product that is already as close to perfection as
is possible? I'm sure there must have been a time, in the long and tortured
history of this blogsite, where I have listed my favourite items of food, and I'm
pretty sure that hot cross buns would have been featured on the list. A
perfectly-halved, lightly-toasted, fruit-packed hot cross bun with a generous
dollop of butter on top is one of the greatest treats a man like myself can
enjoy. Why would you bollocks that up by adding chocolate chips and fake jam to
the recipe?
As you can probably tell, I still have a bit of a headache and I'm still
feeling stressed about our busy weekend ahead...
