How Easily You Can Be Found

The police gave a talk at my sons' school on social media awareness. It was a fascinating talk, and I will post more about it in the future. But last week I was emailed the link to the youtube clip below, which reinforced elements of the police talk.

It's something I think every person who posts photos online should be aware of.

ANZAC Biscuits

Every year around ANZAC Day I make ANZAC Biscuits. The availability of ingredients, coupled with the lack of eggs which results in a long shelf life, meant they were popular for sending to soldiers at war. There are many variations to the recipe, although they are all very similar. Here's my family recipe:

ANZAC BISCUITS

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup plain flour

1 cup sugar

¾ cup coconut

125 g melted butter

2 tbs golden syrup

½ tsp bicarb soda

1 tbs boiling water.

Combine oats, flour, sugar and coconut.  Melt butter and syrup. 

Mix soda with boiling water and add to butter/syrup mix.  Pour into dry ingredients and mix well.

Place teaspoonfuls of mixture onto trays.  Bake in a moderate oven for 20 mins.

ANZAC Day

April 25th is a very significant and important day in Australia (and New Zealand). It is the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australia and New Zealand in WW1 (the Australian and New Zealand Armoured Corp - ANZAC). On this day the nation comes together to remember those who have served, and are serving, our country in war.

Lest We Forget.
