Moss stitch face washer


I love this pattern because it's so simple to make and yet beautiful to use. My daughter made one for me last Mother's Day, and it's kept its shape well, and is still as soft as the first time I used it.

Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

Here's a recipe I've always loved. It was a favourite of my mothers' as well. Give it a try and let me know what you think...


I find it amazing that what you put on the top ends up on the bottom. Let's face it - before you put it in the oven it looks like something a wet dog ran through!

Chocolate Self-Saucing Pudding

1 cup self raising flour
1 tablespoon cocoa
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
½ cup milk

Sauce:
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1¼ cups boiling water

Sift flour and 1 tablespoon cocoa, add sugar and melted butter. Add milk and mix well.

Pour into ovenproof dish.

Bake in moderate oven (180°C) for 45 minutes.

Serve alone, with cream or with ice-cream.
