So, I'm sitting here eating the rum balls I made earlier. I upped the rum quotient from 1.5 tablespoons to 1/4 cup and I still can't taste the rum!!!!

And, now I've got a round 100&1000 between the L and K keys that I can't get out

"why is the rum always gone?"

Less then two weeks till Christmas eek! This year has just FLOWN!

I only have one pressie to buy if I can ever get to the shops! Monday was the first day in three weeks I hadn't been called in to school or been busy with other things and my car battery was dead when I went to go to the Plaza, go figurin!

Then today I was getting ready to leave and got a call at 9:10 from a school asking me to come in ahh think of the money at least!

Plus all of the teachers who are temporary will be full time temporary again at the school next year, so no-one going back to casual woo hoo! I know I'm the second to get called everytime so not bad for my first two terms

Hope everyone is having a good night, I'm editing PP+ photos before they expire, realised two days ago how to save in different sizes so will have to go back through the first 500 or so once I get through the last 100

I will post the recipe tomorrow. Hubby said that because I used the spiced gold Captain Morgan rum I wouldn't taste it like I would with Bundaberg rum. I prefer the Captain.

Rum balls


250g packet milk arrowroot biscuits
395g can condensed milk
1 cup coconut
1/4 cup cocoa
1.5 tblspn rum or to taste
Extra coconut for rolling of can use use sprinkles or extra combined cocoa and icing sugar

Crush biscuits with a rolling pin or food processor, combine with all other ingredients except for the extra bit for coating.

Dampen hands and roll into balls then it on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and refrigerate until firm.

I found the 250g pack of biscuits made the mix a bit too dry so you could leave some out before crushing. Next time I'll add some chopped up sultanas too as I lovd sultanas and it would make the mixture juicy.

Thanks Marlea98.

I'm not sure I'm going to find the time nor the inclination to make rum balls this year.

PIO. We have a daily production line. I think we have withdrawals from not having them last year. The girls are making them themselves so not complaining.

How awesome is it when you bite into a piece of fruit and it's just perfect?!?

I don't have a production line. Just me.

And which piece of fruit would that be?

My DH asked my yesterday if I'd put a deposit down on a cruise

Think he wants to go again?

 

[alicia1506]

After my next pay i'm locking it in

Also a WDW trip (of course) and trying to figure out somewhere different to go where we haven't been, somewhere appropriate for an eight year old...
Heading back to Palm Springs and Disneyland (of course )

Input appreciated.
We're looking at April 2014
