A trifle consists of both soft and crunchy layers put on top of each other in a glass or ceramic cup for serving. For this recipe you can switch things up for dietry requirements/preferences. The traditional English food trifle is a layered which contains custard, sponge fingers, sherry soaked cake, fruit, jam and whipped cream.

𝙄𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨

• 50g (2 oz) chocolate flavour Angel Delight

• 300ml (1/2 pt) semi-skimmed milk

• 200g (7 oz) brownies (you can make the brownies yourself or shop buy)

• 400g (2/3 pt) double cream

• 100g (4 oz) chocolate

𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

1) In a bowl, prepare the Angel Delight pudding according to package instructions using the milk.

2) Whip the cream in another bowl until soft peaks form.

3) Crush the chocolate into small pieces and place in another bowl. 

4) Crumble the brownies into a large bowl.

5) You are now ready to assemble the trifle. Ideally, you should use portion sized jars or containers. 

6) Start layering the pudding by placing the brownies in the base, followed by a layer of chocolate pudding, and cream. 

7) Repeat the process by adding as many layers as you can and top with chocolate when the container is full.

Just to note - Angel Delight is a well known brand for chocolate pudding but shops stock their own no name brand as well!

If you don’t have time to prepare your own brownies, you can also consider using cookies, sponge fingers, waffles, wafers etc. Whether it be chocolate or golden vanilla cookies, they’ll both taste great!

• Mascarpone – this would almost make your dish tiramisu-like. Just need a bit of coffee

• Cream Cheese – your dish would be like a cheesecake in a cup. Simply delicious!

• Crème Fraiche – with acidity, it will cut through the richness of the chocolate. Great with fruit

•Vanilla, caramel or chocolate pudding – just reuse the pudding if you are fan of the Angel Delight

• Fruit coulis – can use these to make your dish lighter, less intense on the calorie count.

• Caramel – rich, intense flavour that will add an extra something

Mum is not young anymore so I told her not to prepare more than necessary if only the two of us are eating. Dishes like this Fried Noodles is good enough for me. She used mee pok (面薄) or flat yellow noodles for tonight’s dinner with tiger prawns and added stall bought roasted chicken.

🦂Commission Slots Open: DECEMBER!🦂

As you know, art is my only job rn and in order to support myself I figured I need to be fulfilling at least 4 or 5 comms a month.

In desperate need recently as my rent has increased and I'm helping my parents with bills too. Ideally I need to make £400 a month to help, so that's 5 or so slots to fill. I'd really appreciate the help 💖

Currently 2 commission slots available rn!

Details in my carrd as usual. DM me if interested :)

Also prints and stickers available on my etsy (you can DM me directly for them so not to go through etsy) and my inprnt which will help with daily costs etc. Also able to take print requests to make prints for a design you want that isn't already in my et/sy shop, for a bit extra. See pinned post for more detail about prints.

Thanks sm 💖

One for St Patrick’s Day, also a recipe for any day when you don’t have any bread and want some really soon.

Best eaten with a generous spread of salted butter, Irish if you can get it (Dylan doesn’t do this, he has a thinness to maintain) or used to chase the last toothsome dregs of Irish Stew, Dublin Coddle, Strong Farmer’s Soup - or indeed stuff from outside Ireland such as chilli, goulash, Sauerbraten and any other tasty savoury thing whose last toothsome dregs need chased...

It makes washing the plates so much easier. ;->

Normally at this point I’d link to my Mum’s 4-or-maybe-5-generation-old recipe on European Cuisines, but the site’s not back up yet.

Instead this link goes to Sotsil’s Wordpress page, which not only gives full credit (Yay!) but adds some fun extra observations, including various ways to improvise buttermilk if you can’t find the real thing.

Here it is.

Here’s a pic of the last time we made it:

That photo, Dylan’s video and Sotsil’s page all show the oven-baked “cake” version more associated with the South. The North, where I come from, uses the same ingredients and method, but cooks with a skillet / griddle on the stovetop.

That version looks like this:

Here it is with the traditional “wee cup of tea”.

Remember how I said something about butter? Jam, too.

Either warm from the griddle or after being split and toasted, the butter does A Trick, and melts down into the bread. This was the way my Dad liked it.

The melted butter of course makes room for more butter, if you like butter (Dad did) though biting into it after that can be an adventure.

If you can manage a slice of street pizza without getting grease on your chin elbows, you’re halfway there already...

don't you love when you Just stopped feeling guilty about eating the things you like and then one of your parents drops the "i'm concerned about your diet"

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I told my mum I was hungry so she brought me a dragon's head and gave me a spoon and just left.

I've had this dream twice.

Hi there :)

cake decorations gifted by my hilarious mother yesterday

"don't try to eat them theyre made from out-of-date icing and plasticine" as if in any scenario i'd eat them and not keep them mortuary-cabineted in a tub in my fridge forever

Me: * info dumps about Armands background, Marius, how fucked up it was and how I want to see Daniel just go gung ho and try and BEAT Marius's ass when he meets him and just how bad Marius apologists are and how I won't stand for them*

My Mum, who has never watched IWTV and never will, eating her ice cream and listening to me while we sit in a McDonalds dining room filled with people: "That's nice, darling"

[moon-yean]

Let's eat first. Come on. I'll listen to you after eating. Okay?

Oh oh if we're feeding Grian, I'd like to offer him a White Person Taco. (Don't want it to he too spicy for him!!!)

-Lunar (a white person who also can't handle spice)

omg right he's british he cannot handle spice ADJGKADJGK

i imagine Watchers can spawn food bc they know how it's made, like, every single component, i think if they offered him a taco he'd be genuinely impressed, like, its so much to remember.

he's also a bit iffy about the meat.

Home-cooked meal of Royale Chives (Allium tuberosum) with tiger prawns. A member of garlic chives, they are called 青龙菜 here which literally translated as “Green Dragon Vegetable”. The second dish is mum's special Braised Pig’s Trotters & Egg. Drizzle some of the five-spice and dark soya sauce-based gravy over the rice to complete the meal.

I get that it's game mechanics but they go and do the clunkiest dialogue for poor Taash's gender search and then present you with a binary choice for their culture like??? Haven't we just talked about not having to do either of these. You have a half dozen codex entries on queer Tevinters helping them through this but they gotta pick ONE culture.

The bird feeding and meeting Karash was cool! Why is the rest of Taash's companion storyline so... bleh. If they needed to have a binary choice on their companion questline why did it have to be about something so personal and that Bioware is so goddamn bad at.

it's just so fascinating to me that this was written and went through multiple edits like... even if it gets miraculously better later and the conclusion of their story is "they can be non-binary with their culture AND their gender :)" (which is still uh. in the words of jessica, not everything feels like something else.) it's still crazy to have them talk about being forced into boxes and then have you choose to encourage them to pursue one culture or the other, especially since it feels implied that qunari culture is traditional and stifling while rivaini culture is accepting and free, even though so far we've barely SEEN any of either culture lol.
