Choc Raspberry Ripple Wreath
Ingredients
900 ml Western Star Thickened Cream
2x 250 g packets of Chocolate ripple biscuits
3/4 cup raspberry jam
Cherries, raspberries and blueberries, to serve
Method
Pour 600 ml of Western Star Thickened Cream into the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form. Alternatively use a large bowl and whisk by hand.
Spread 1 side of each biscuit with 1 teaspoon of jam followed by 2 tablespoons of whipped cream and stand upright onto a round serving plate. Sandwich with another biscuit spread with jam and cream. Repeat until you have a row of 5 biscuits.
Repeat with remaining biscuits, jam and cream until there are 7 rows of biscuits arranged around the edge of the plate to form a wreath shape.
Banoffee Biscuit Balls
Ingredients
200 g wheat biscuits, extra crushed biscuits
for topping
1/4 cup caramel
1 medium ripe banana, peeled
100 g dark chocolate, melted (optional)
Method
Add the biscuits, caramel and banana in a food processor and pulse until biscuits are crushed and mixture comes together. Using clean hands and a tablespoon measure, form the mixture into balls and place on a lined tray. Roll each ball in the extra crushed wheat biscuits and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm. Alternatively, if using chocolate, dip each ball in the melted chocolate and let it set over a wire rack.
Bribie Island RSL Sub-Branch
The Bribie Island RSL Sub-Branch Remembrance Day Service commemorating the 105th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice was held, as usual, on the grounds of the Bribie RSL. Morning showers and the threat of more rain did not affect the crowd numbers, which appeared to be normal. The Catafalque Party was provided by B Squadron, 12/16th Hunter Rivers Lancers. The Bribie Island Men’s Shed placed their “Ghost Soldiers” to form a guard of honour for the mounting of the Catafalque Party. The Banksia Beach State School provided the music for the service, plus the three young trumpeters who played the Last Post. The band from Banksia Beach State School performed the Australian and New Zealand National Anthems. The Bribie Island State School choir sang hymns.
The attached photographs show the Catafalque Party marching through the “Ghost Soldiers” guard and the two rows of “Ghost Soldiers” leading to the dais.
Time to Declutter?
Recently, I had to move, and those who know me know I am constantly getting rid of things. My mother often asks have you got anything left to get rid of? I always laugh and say, yes, I still have a few things. At a glance, it looked like I did not have a lot; friends often commented how my place had a lot of space; I think what they meant was my place looked rather sparse, and it appeared I had minimal…
I thought that too and liked it that way… well, that was until I started packing. Boy, was I surprised about how much stuff I had lurking in the cupboards! I realised like many of us, I have more than what I need. Most have a hard time admitting we have too much stuff, though the moment of truth comes when we come to move. It is then we find out what we really have gathered around the home. So, how do we really define what we need? Here are some strategies to start emptying your space:
- When did you last use it?
- What does it cost, and how easy is it to replace?
- What does it cost to move or store it?
- Does the item evoke good, happy memories or sad ones?
- Do you need it, really want it, or love it?
- How much do you want to have freedom from your stuff?
- What is the reason for keeping it?
- Are you procrastinating or delaying deciding regarding a particular item?
- Can you gift it to someone who may use it?
My favourite question is, does this represent who I am today, and would I buy it today, being the person I am? Whilst it can be hard to answer some of these questions, it is important to focus on the goal of wanting to live with less. Not only does it take less time when it comes to moving, but it can save us a lot of time and energy by not having to clean, maintain, or repair the things we do not really need, as well as saving time going through things.
Material things offer short-term happiness in this journey called life. Happiness does not come from what you have; it is something within you. Real happiness is having nothing and feeling full.
If you want more happiness in your life or are looking at setting some goals, and want some help in achieving them, reach out and give me a call. I can help you work out how to obtain your aspirations, whether it is decluttering, releasing weight, or a new life direction.
Always with love, Maria Christina FB: MariaChristina.
