It's cooking time <3
Here is a fabulous nanaimo bar recipe =)
**Bottom Layer
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter (European style cultured) 1⁄2 cup sugar
1 cup coconut
1 egg, beaten
1 3⁄4 cup graham wafer crumbs
1⁄2 cup finely chopped almonds 5 tablespoons cocoa
Melt first 3 ingredients in the top of a double boiler. Add egg and stir to cook and thicken. Remove from heat. Stir in crumbs, coconut and nuts. Press firmly into an ungreased 8 X 8 pan.
**Second Layer
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons Cream
2 tablespoons vanilla custard powder
2 cups icing sugar
Cream butter, cream, custard powder and icing sugar together well. Beat until light. Spread over bottom layer.
**Third Layer
4 squares semi-sweet chocolate (1 ounce each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Cool. When cool, but still liquid, pour over the second layer and chill in refrigerator.
Cheers & Bon Appétit!
And a terrific 'hair-repair' and 'face mask' that was sent to me by my cousin (not sure where she got it from)
Did you know that.....Not only do bananas contain an impressive amount potassium but they are jammed packed with vitamins and minerals.

DAMAGED HAIR
1 ripe Banana
4-5 drops of Almond oil (more if you want the scent stronger)
1 Tablespoon of Jojoba oil
Massage into your hair and then allow to sit for about 20 minutes or longer if you have the time. Rinse with warm water and then shampoo and condition.
FACE
1 Egg Yolk
1 - 2 teaspoons of Almond oil
1 ripe banana
Combine in a bowl using a fork. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 10 minutes then remove with lukewarm water.
* If you want the mask to be exfoliating add a bit of oatmeal.
* If you find this mask too oily just use the banana and the egg yolk.
