You have already achieved so much, a loving partner, two kids, building your own home and those are only the parts I see.

I assume hot water works well for both plastic and the older metal ones?<br /><br />Hehe, luckily with home-made you can put lots of lettuce and beetroot and carrot and sprouts on the burger to make it healthier. ;-)Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590137059245930934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-43546172560924002392012-08-28T18:41:20.350+10:002012-08-28T18:41:20.350+10:00Happy birthday Susan! :)Happy birthday Susan! :)Jacintahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575013645355428125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-11281924318438971672012-08-28T17:47:39.487+10:002012-08-28T17:47:39.487+10:00the trick is to immerse the mould in a sink of hot...the trick is to immerse the mould in a sink of hot water for about 15 seconds, then use a knife to very gently ease a bit of the jelly from the side of the mould to help break the seal, then invert and tap until it comes out. If it is still stuck stick it back in the sink for another couple of seconds and try again. I very light brushing of almond oil in the mould can also help.<br /><br />Now I'm dreaming of burgers and fries with a big cup of soft drink... mmmmSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141836406113250543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033135461894105155.post-52864284362999491212012-08-28T17:41:14.500+10:002012-08-28T17:41:14.500+10:00Well done on surviving the trip into the 30s! :-)
...Well done on surviving the trip into the 30s! :-)<br />That jelly looks wonderful! I only make mine in little single-serve pots because it never comes out of fancy moulds properly- is there a trick to it?<br /><br />Good luck with your gardening! The weather's perfect to start getting out there more now...and yes, weeding is a boring but first step. The best fun is planning what to plant when, and where.<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis" rel="nofollow">Foxgloves </a> are very pretty, but also very toxic- If you do plant some, make sure it's well away from little hands! :-/<br /><br />I wish you well in your endeavours to never eat Maccas again...Making your own burgers and serving them with shoestring fries and softdrink in a ridiculously large cup at home, could help stem the cravings ;-)<br />Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590137059245930934noreply@blogger.com
