vegan chocolate cake~for the calories

[goodtogove]

This is a really simple, yet very tasty cake or you can make chocolate buns with the mixture instead. (If you do - note these will take less time to cook). You can use rice flour or something other than wheat. You can also add chocolate chips and/or nuts.

Ingredients

200g (7 oz) plain flour

200g (7 oz) caster sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa powder

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

5 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

250ml (8 fl oz) water

Preparation method

1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Lightly grease a 13x23cm loaf tin or a 20cm round cake tin.

2. Sieve together the flour, sugar, cocoa, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Add the oil, vanilla, vinegar and water. Mix together until smooth.

3. Pour into prepared tin and bake at 180 C for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

And are you sure you've got those measurements right? It's just, I know how you've been with numbers of late...

Well, when it comes to estimating the birth date of such an esteemed colleague on the fly, it's easy numbers to get muddled up in the haze of admiration and reverence.

Cake, however, is a much more serious matter.

Were you looking for something more savoury, what's better than spinach mousse - or some nice spinach tapa to remind Nick of Spain?

Ingredients for 4 tapas
400g/14oz spinach, destalked
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
2 tablespoon olive oil
100g/31/2oz raw prawns
Salt and pepper to taste
5ml/4fl oz milk
125ml/4fl oz double cream
4 eggs

Cook damp spinach in a covered pan on medium heat for four minutes. Press cooked leaves between two plates until dry. Sauté onion and tomatoes in olive oil. Turn heat up to evaporate some liquid. Add spinach and peeled prawns, season and stir. Cook on low heat for a few minutes. Cool. Put in a blender. Add milk, cream and eggs. Whirl until creamy. Season. Pour into a lightly oiled loaf tin and bake in a bain-marie at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 45 minutes

Heat the water until approximately 80 degrees C in a non-reactive pot. China or stainless steel are preferable. Do not boil it.

Not having any food with that tea? :/

If I included food it would cease to be tea and become green tea soup, a somewhat Govian creation.

OOC: Um, WARNING here, for those of a squeamish, city-resident or vegetarian disposition.

Good heavens! It seems the younger generation in parliament don't know even the most basic life skills! Most of them don't even know how to prepare a rabbit for the pot.

Required items

One rabbit, alive or recently dead
One knife with sharp point e.g. craft knife.
Kitchen scissors

Instructions (best performed outdoors)

1. If the rabbit's still alive, kill it.
   
2. Remove any urine from the rabbit by squeezing the abdomen.
   
3. Make a cut an inch long and a quarter of an inch deep under the ribs on one side and then tear the skin open with your bare hands.
   
4. Holding the rabbit by the feet and chest, swing it vigorously to shake the entrails loose.
   
5. Cut the entrails out, easing the stomach loose carefully so as not to puncture it.
   
6. Puncture the diaphragm at the base of the ribs, and then remove the lungs and heart above it.
   
7. The skin can then be pulled away from the body at this point, leaving just the head, legs and tail. These can be cut off with a pair of

Most supermarkets will now do it for you.

Supermarkets are for women and wimps, young Laws. And besides, you don't want to be left high and dry if you can't reach one.
