Something From Nothing Tuna Cous Cous Cakes

There are days when you just stare into your fridge or freezer for inspiration hoping beyond all hopes that inspiration hits you in the face or perhaps a chef will leap out and save the day.

Ingredients

Can of tuna drained

225g of cous cous

2 eggs to bind

You could perhaps add some left over mashed potato if you had any.

Optional tweeting your picture of your finished product to Phil Vickery and then in turn him rting it , who says you can't dine out on a story ???

Update : I have yet to dine out on this story 

But what a top bloke Phil Vickery is !! thanks for the RT .


Method

Preheat the oven to 180 c

Hydrate the cous cous in your normal way.


Drain and add the can of tuna.


Next mix with the cous cous and add the 2 egg to bind, as if you only use one egg you 'll find the picture gets too crumbly.

Grease a baking tray other wise you'll be chiselling these off the tray other wise.

I shaped mine with spoons as if I was a Morris dancing waving what ever Morris dancers wave.


Then the flatten  a tad.

Placed them on the baking tray and baked for around 20 minutes but keep at eye on the oven you might need slightly less time according to your oven.



Then let cool down .


And you are ready .

From Chimney Pots To Copper Tops

Take time to catch the patchwork leaves

From chimney pots to copper tops

Take time to dip into Autumn gold with me 

The opportunity to see the niceness in people

When the veil of fog lifts from your soul

Branches bow in a regal show

Every tree  is Royal no common bough here

The crinkly carpet crunches under foot

And the breezes whistles past your ears

Soap Box Rules

I was typing this and my whole post just disappeared which is a trifle annoying and I didn't alert you on Facebook or Twitter. Instead I'm telling you here in this blog post , gosh what a pickle.

We stress our /out opinions on our various social media channels, some of it looks like an attack from certain angles as if people have got a fly in their social media ice cream. I'm all for debate , debate is indeed good and healthy.  We tell the world how we are feeling at times it can feel as if people are dictating their views across.

Why oh people do people feel the need to attack others in thinly veiled ways , balance and constructive words are set aside as the soap box is pulled away and smothers other opinions.  Just an obversation after all I have been watching Disney films empowering myself , amazing how the little things count. If you stop stressing just worry about you and not what opportunities other people have got then the world is a far better please.

Coconut water I've tried it twice and formed my opinion but one day there might might be a coconut water I like , open minded is how I try to be though the stuff tastes like sweaty flip flops. There I'll get off my soap box for now before someone pushes me off it.

Just relax 

Ways My Cat is Rubbish At Hide And Seek

My cat has a new hobby no longer is he dragging a zebra though the cat flap after stalking the plains of the endless plains of the Serengeti  my lawn needs cutting but that sounds oh so much majestic and magical doesn't it.We demand to be amused by our pets like Roman Emperors of old , the ways they do get all the more inventive and clever , more clever than is unless you are my cat.


1 . My cat Jack will attempt to hide in the bed but as it is so rubbish at hide and seek it leaves its little paws sticking out , now even when I have not got my glasses on I can spot an intruder in my bed .

2. Jack will hide under the footstool and yet will leave his tail hiding trailing out , I have sat and explained to him the rules of hide and seek and his seemed to understand. He did what all cats do which was to head bump me then walk off lift his leg in the air showing: he has no airs and graces , along with the fact then he is sure something is missing , he is not sure what when it was there once.

STOP press I told my cat I was typing up a post about him and which point he promptly threw up , I screamed as I thought it was a whole mouse but no he had supplemented his diet with a slug!

3. He will hide on the stairs no in the day find this is not a problem, however if you decide to chance the stairs in dim light without switching in the landing light then you're doomed.

4. Hiding under the fringe of the duvet , I know he's rubbish at hiding but I don't tell him I am mindful of his feelings.

5. Hiding on boxes
