Seizures and safety, the bloody learning Curve

Get, I' m trying to be really careful about going out and about with my seizures in mind. I am learning  various triggers, and am usually fairly confident about predicting when they will happen. Problem is I have ones that are unpredictable... They hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was having a walk through the park today, felt fine. The next thing I knew I lost control of my right side as my leg started mild convulsions. These were mild enough that I could keep my balance with my other side but I waiting for the day a severe happens... Same thing happened a few days before but fortunately I was close enough to catch hold of a wall - or I would have been swimming in the canal!

It's cold, just far too cold. And those swans are getting vicious.


On the bright side - I made cookies!  Coffee with triple chocolate chips ^_^

Chocolate chunk Bikkies/Cookies; Gluten-free and Dairy Free.

A simple recipe for simply sweet bikkies.  I want one now.

Ingredients:

Gluten free Flour 1 1/2 cups.
1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
1/2 cups sugar (preferable brown)
1/2 cup margarine.
1/2 a block of dark chocolate (Green and Blacks or another variety that doesn't include milk in the recipe)

Directions:
Pre-heat the over to 180 degrees Celsius.  Break the chocolate block into small chunks.  Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and mix in the sugar and baking soda.  Slightly melt the margarine and mix into the flour.  Ensure the mix is cool before adding the chocolate chunks.  After you have mixed in the chocolate, spoon the mixture onto a greased baking tray ensuring that the dough is spread evenly apart.  Place the tray into the oven and remove when the cookies are golden brown.  It is particularly important to allow gluten-free biscuits to cool before you consume them as the biscuits cool down the harden significantly.

Going Bananas

I was in the Co-op today getting myself some lunch.  I thought, 'Bananas, that's a nice healthy option to have with my salad'. I went to grab a few from the fruit selection, and then I discovered all of the bananas were over-ripe!  They were spotty and bursting out of their skins!  They were clearly not going to be sold, which is just wasteful.  There's so much that can be made from ripe bananas.

Banana Cake - in Chocolate, nut, cinnamon and coffee varieties.

Banana muffins - Chocolate chip, nutmeg, cinnamon.

It's so easy to make something tasty out of over-ripe bananas!
