Big fun hat

This crocheted hat is bucket shaped with slightly denser brim, so you can curl up the brim or wear it down or poke it into a trilby style.

 I had fun with it and sent it to a friend.

I like making hats

I made a hat with Australian alpaca yarn for my sister Helen.

She loves it, so warm and comforting.

I made a hat for my friend Carol

but it is too small and I have lost it anyway so I am making her another;

I made a hat for her son

I made a hat for his sister

which I will post tomorrow and make them happy, I hope.

Banana Pancakes

2 large overripe bananas, mashed
2 large pinches mixed spice
1 large egg, raw
1/4 cup self-raising wholemeal flour
1/8 cup cornflour
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup muscat (or mead or port or anything similar, wonder how Midori would go?)
rice bran oil
Mix together all ingredients except oil to form a thick batter, heat lightly oiled frypan and cook dollops of mixture until cooked on both sides. I used 1/4 cup measure as scoop and the mixture made six [6] banana pancakes. Add whatever takes your fancy (if anything) - fruit, honey, yoghurt, ice cream, chocolate ...
