Today is Anzac Day – probably the most important commemorative event on the Australian Calendar – it is a day that marks the anniversary of the first major military action that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps – whose soldiers were known as Anzacs. It’s a solemn day – in which we remember the price of war – and are reminded that so many people around the world are still suffering through the horrific consequences of war everyday.
So today, I decided to make a batch of Anzac biscuits to commemorate this austere day of remembrance (I wasn’t able to make it to a dawn service ._. ) – and while reading-up on Anzac biscuits, I was surprised to find out a few interesting little facts, such as why Anzac biscuits don’t use egg as binding agent (treacle or golden syrup are most commonly used) – during the war, many of the poultry farmers had joined the services – thus a lack in egg produce. I have to admit to making a few little tweaks to the recipe as well – I’ve added in a small handful of cranberries (I’ve used Craisins, but any dried berry, or even chopped dried apricot will be fine), maple syrup and mixed muesli instead of plain oats – a delicious combination – and even crunchier – and super filling, to boot!
Putting my Florence + the Machine saucer to good use.
I’ll be bringing the rest of these to work for our Anzac Day Morning Tea tomorrow.
I N G R E D I E N T S .
- 1 cup plain flour, sifted
- 3/4 cup muesli
- 1/4 cup Craisins (or other dried berry, apricot)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or golden syrup, treacle)
- 125g butter
- 1 teaspoon bicarb soda
- 2 tablespoons water
B A K E .
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan-forced). Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
- Sift the flour into a large bowl. Stir in the oats, Craisins, coconut and brown sugar.
- Put the butter, golden syrup and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Stir over a medium heat until melted. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda.
- Pour the butter mixture into the flour mixture and stir until combined. If still a bit dry, add a tiny amount of water.
- Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. Place on the trays, about 5cm apart.
- Press with palm of hand to flatten slightly. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Set aside on the trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack so they cool completely.
Enjoy with a hot cuppa – also, please feel free to ask me questions about tweaks! I’m pretty sure this is a fail-safe recipe – as I’ve somehow been able to pull it off! If I can do it, I’m sure you can too!

Can you help me, please.
sorry to come here and being a pain.
hugs

will follow this beautiful blog.
This design is incredible! You definitely know how to
keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved
to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful
job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!

Your automobile isn’t just a vehicle for taking you from point
A to point B; it is a major part of your life. When you bought your first car you promised it by name to take good care of
it and love it forever, but things happen and life goes on. Maybe there is a new car in your
life, or maybe you still have the old jalopy you first fell in love with, and you want
to take better care of it. You already give your
car the best oil and fuel to take care of the engine in top
condition, but what do you do to keep the auto body in good upkeep?
When people think of a car body, they think it completely cosmetic, and so a lot will ignore it other than a wash and maybe a wax if
they feel flashy. Auto body shops do much more for a car than cosmetic treatment.
Other than the usual paintjob you can get from an auto body
shop, they also do repair work on scuffs,
scratches, dings, dents, and even replacing bumpers and mirrors.
Fixing your bumpers and mirrors at an auto body shop makes sense; you need those to drive safely so they are not considered vanity, but what about
scuffs, dings, and dents? Depending on the position of
the dents, they can actually reduce highway gas mileage, and a car that’s owner looks like they
don’t care about it, then others won’t care about it like if
they hit it in a parking lot with their car door, since what is one more scuff?
A good auto body shop will make sure that the repairs done to the body
of your vehicle will make it look like it did when it came from the factory.
Don’t settle for an auto body shop that will try and force unneeded treatments
on you so they can make more money, and they
can even go as far to try and scare you into using them, citing car insurance requirements and the like.
Chose a reputable, honest auto body shop, that will treat you fairly,
and never push you to add any unnecessary repairs that you don’t need and don’t want; we believe you as a consumer have the fundamental right to spend your money where you want.
If your car or vehicle is in bad appearance, it can affect the integrity and safety of the car,
not just how good it looks. When you realize you need to go to an auto body shop to fix your car’s body, don’t go with just any store,
and choose a reputable repair shop that has a reputation for fair and honest dealings.
There are many types of tiles available nowadays.
The method of tile cleaning will depend more on the tile type.
However there are couple of things to be followed to add the sheen and glow
of the tiles.
Do the regular floor cleaning
Clean the spills as soon as they occur
It is very crucial to clean dirt and water too as soon as they are split to prevent the stains.
Place a doormat which helps in reduction of mud or dirt entering through footsteps.
There are basically following tile floors where in one will use the tile and grout cleaning process, types
of tiles are as follow –
Ceramic
Porcelain
Stone
Porcelain Tile cleaning
Porcelain tiles maintenance is not difficult if the surface is
cleaned regularly. The surface can be vacuum cleaned every day
or just sweep it. The wet mopping is required once in a week.
Use of mild floor cleaners will do for the mopping. One can make it at
home by mixing vinegar and water.
Ceramic Tile Cleaning
The rule is followed here as well; remove the dirt as soon as possible.
Vacuum clean the tiles every day or a simple broom can be used.
Plain water or the special ceramic tile cleaners can be used for the wet mopping.
Stone Tile Cleaning
One need to be careful while cleaning the tiles made of stones as they are natural minerals.
Never use harsh floor cleaners. Sweep or vacuum clean. After using any floor
cleaner use a dry mop to soak any type of liquid residue.
Grout Cleaning
Along with the tile cleaning it is very important to regularly clean the grout, i.e.
the lines between the tiles. Hence tile and grout cleaning goes simultaneously.
Grout is porous in nature and attracts dirt, grease etc.
The surface looks shabby if the grout is unclean. It can also
be a cause of mildew or mould in the damp areas like bathrooms.
It is best to have a seal (colour or clear) on the grout which will not only protect the surface but also acts as an anti-fungal agent.
Many a times it gets difficult to maintain the floor due to hectic working schedules.
Hence we come in picture and provide the tile and grout cleaning services to our clients at a very affordable
price. Moreover the price depends on the type of the tiles, number of tiles and size of
the tiles to be cleaned.
Following steps are followed for the tile and grout cleaning
after you contact us-
Pre inspection of the tiles and floor.
Shifting of the furniture, if any, from that space.
Dry Sweeping of the surface
Application of the suitable cleaning solution.
Cleaning the surface with a soft pad.
High pressure cleaning
Mopping and drying the surface.
We have our experts who carry special tools to do the tile and grout cleaning; the
grout sealing is also done if ordered.
An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a colleague
who was conducting a little homework on this. And he actually ordered me breakfast simply
because I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this….
Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your site.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I’ve really enjoyed
browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing

Revealed: Secret to Reducing Air Conditioning
Costs
Certain results indicate how each American household pay an estimate of $1000 for both heating
and air conditioning systems every year. Indeed there are very good ways to cut down on these expenses without sacrificing the benefit of air conditioning
during hot summer days in any way. The true secret to reducing Air Conditioning costs lies in your maintenance activities
and making the right purchase of air conditioner units based on your needs.
Currently, there are 3 common kinds of air conditioners, central, freestanding and window on the US market.
Each kind has its own pros and cons. Before purchasing any air conditioners for
your home, there is something that you need to understand. Not all the types of units on the market require
the same kind of maintenance.
Think about the possible utility and maintenance costs when you purchase your unit.
What is the cooling coverage that you truly need?
It may seem easy to install a centralized system for your entire house.
But the question is whether it is necessary.
Apart from the high expense of purchasing this system, there are the
possible high costs of repair and maintenance.
If you only want cool air in certain rooms because they are the hottest in your
home during a hot summer season, then opt for the window or freestanding kind.
The key difference between the freestanding type and the window type
is in terms of mobility. You can move a freestanding air
conditioner from one room to another easily enough.
Buying this type will be a great idea if you intend to
rotate the usage of the unit in different rooms. But if your
mind is fixed on having a few units in specific rooms, then the window type
might be a good option. Since the window type would be up on the wall, it
would not take up space in the room like how the freestanding type would.
When it comes to the window type, you have the choice of selecting one that
comes with or without duct.
Apart from being compact and small, the ductless kind
is rather easy to install on any wall. Compared to the one that comes with a duct, it is also more energy saving.
A good way to cool the temperature in the other rooms
that have no air-conditioners is to use oscillating fans.
Another smart way is to purchase a few 5 ton air
conditioners to cover the space for your entire house instead of buying a centralized unit.
But this depends on how large your home is. Apart from the cost
of purchase, there is the expense for maintenance. Normally,
the cost of maintenance of a centralized air conditioning system is much higher compared to
the freestanding or window types. To reduce maintenance costs,
think about performing simple maintenance activities on your own.
For example, you can take a look at the filter and
change it if it requires changing. Normally, the frequency for changing or checking the
filter will be mentioned in the air conditioner manufacturer’s
manual. Some findings show that changing the filters can help in reducing monthly utility
costs by 10 to 20%.
Though it is fine to carry out a simple maintenance task such as changing a filter, it is best to leave the more complex maintenance
or repair tasks to Air Conditioning Experts. Now
and then, call them up to check on the state of your air conditioner units and do what is necessary for their
optimum working condition – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.
