Recipe - Rhubarb Ginger Cobbler

Hi all!
Isnt the weather lovely? I am blogging outside, how cool is that! I do have to type fast coz I think my battery is about to run out, oops! :) Has the rhubarb season ended yet? I have no idea, but I had prepared this post a while ago and only just got around to typing it up. I made this very delicious rhubarb ginger cobbler the other day and I really wanted to share it with you.

You will need:
  • 750gr (1.5 lbs)rhubarb
  • 100 gr (3.5 oz) caster sugar
  • 5cm (2in) piece root ginger
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 125 gr (4oz) self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 175 (6fl oz) milk
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180C, fan 160C.

Cut the rhubarb into 5cm (2inc) pieces and wash it.

Peel the ginger and chop it finely (this is an extreme closeup, it was really chopped)

Put the rhubarb and 3tbsp of the sugar in a medium pan with 4tbsp of water and add the ginger.

Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the rhubarb is almost tender.

Measure out your cornflour (1tsbp remember?)

And add tbsp cold water, stir. Add the mixture to the rhubarb.

Cook for a minute until the liquid has thickened, then pour both the fruit and and the liquid into a 1 liter (1.75 pint) baking dish.

Mix the remaining sugar with the flour, a pinch of salt, and the baking powder, then rub into the butter until the mixture start to look like breadcrumbs.

Grate the remaining ginger and add to the flour. Stir in the milk to make a soft dough.

Stirring...

Spoon in dollops over the surface of the fruit.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the dough has become golden brown on top. Serve piping hot.

This was actually pretty good :) A bit too gingery for my liking so maybe next time I will add a little less, and also a lot more green that the picture but that migth have to do with my choice of rhubarb, This was the picture from the mag:

Still, maybe next time mine will look like this also :) It is definitely a yummy dessert for hot weather like this. I dont know about where you are, but here it is waaarm! Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February

My Neighbor Totoro Project #2: Catbus

Image
Hello again! So last time I showed you how I made Totoro. I ended up making yet another doll / pillow from the same movie for the same friend! I think this was a present for a combination of life events, and I knew she would love this. This time, I made Catbus! (if you don't know what Catbus looks like, please Google it as there are so many references out there! Or better yet: watch the movie, you will love it!) Again, I went shopping for fabric... at least this time I knew what I needed, the wool was just perfect, I just had to find the right colours. Catbus has various shades of brown and a bright yellow. The brown was easy but I couldn't find yellow anywhere... In the end I opted for yellow felt which worked as well. Not the tiny squares of craft felt, no the proper felt on a roll. It seemed stronger, and the colour was perfect. Sadly this time there was no tutorial, but I did find a pillow on ebay that served as inspiration for this project. Ok, I mostly copied it... M
