It was pupil free day for Miss6 today so I stayed home with my two babies- a rarity these days and I wanted to stay home rugged up in blankets and enjoy each other.

Well we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We watched our favourite movies while indulging on popcorn and freshly squeezed orange juice and mandarins … not chocolate but lots of vitamin C as we are all recovering from a nasty cold. We had some lovely home made vegetable soup for lunch and we went all fancy with croutons hehe.

Then Miss6 and I made a flourless chocolate cake after I saw this tweet from Chrissie Swan – “Just made a fat-free flourless chocolate cake (no chocolate in it either). Wonder if it tastes as tedious as it sounds?” Well it tastes divine!!

It is really easy to make (recipe) and it is delicious and moist and is even nicer served with Maggie Beer’s Dark Chocolate and Orange Ice Cream.

We also made some fresh crusty white bread and Matt Preston’s Penne Carbonara. I used 500g of penne and I was quite liberal with the parmesan

Tonight it’s pasta, some wine, some quality tv and a hot toddy before bed as recommended by @kalgrl
