Advance
work was needed for something I hope to make over Show weekend (Hobart show;
otherwise known as a good excuse to take an extra day’s leave and enjoy a four
day weekend).
So as soon
as I woke up this morning, I shuffled into the kitchen and measured out 1/3 cup
of juicy sweet raisins into a bowl for some boozy soaking. And then discovered
I had no brandy! You’ll never get me drinking the stuff but I love sloshing it
into a chocolate cake or soaking fruit for a pudding. Obviously I had been
doing more sloshing and soaking than I realised. So the next best thing I decided
was Tia Maria; no strict measurement, just enough to sit the raisins in a
little puddle, as you can see above (then cover with cling wrap and pop into
the fridge until I get back to you).
Let me tell you, inhaling the rich sticky aroma of Tia Maria at 6.40 am is one helluva way to start the day. Mm-mmm.
