Over Indulgence

After all the overeating during the Christmas festivities I had a little one on one with myself that Id try to cut back (a little), but a week on vacation means eating out all the time so Im feeling a little over-indulged right now.

I have a wedding to attend in two weeks and my evening dress just fits!
Just.
so its back to healthy eating, small quantities, lots of fresh stuff, lots of water

i mean figs, fresh from my parents garden are the most delicious things to eat - just pull apart in quarters and eat but no, no,no I had to have them with bread and mascarpone cheese, walnuts and a drizzle of honey...it did taste fantastic though!

Here is the recipe for the RoseWater Pudding

that I mentioned.

The traditional cypriot Summer pudding is usually made with just water, no milk but it kind of makes me feel like Im eating a Jelly fish so I add milk to mine!
80g rice or corn flour

1/3 cup caster sugar

1 Tablespoon Rose Water

550ml Milk

550ml Water

bring to the boil, whisk constantly until thick

pour into small bowls (makes 4-5) cool then refrigerate.

Syrup

80g caster sugar

1/4 hot water

2 teaspoons Rose water

stir over heat until sugar has dissovled - cool

add syrup to 3/4 cup iced water

and drizze a few spoonfuls over
the pudding!

you can even add a little pink food colouring to the syrup if you like
It tastes better than it looks!
