Oh Crumbs! What To Do With Weetabitz

It was my own fault, I packed the remaining weetabix into a plastic box which was a little bit too big – and when I unpacked them, there were an awful lot of bits in the bottom, and 3½ biscuits intact.

We ate the biscuits for breakfast and I was left with a cupful of crumby bits. I made a variant on the traditional 1-cup All Bran Loaf.

1. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees C
2. Combine in a jug one cup each of AllBran [or weetabitz], flour, sultanas, cold tea – plus half a cup of sugar and one egg. Mix well.
3. Pour into a lined loaf tin [or use a nonstick silicon one]
4. Bake 50 minutes

That’s it. Serve in slices with or without butter. Its more dense than the A-B version, more like a bread pudding. But it is definitely comfort food for a cold day when you want a wedge of stodge with your cup of tea!

Nothing to do with cake – but here is a picture of my lovely blue hyacinths which have just come into bloom.

Their perfume is gorgeous and fills the kitchen.

This house already feels very much like home. I feel truly blessed.
