My new hobby. Jewellery using cork. I will be taking orders. Keep in touch, I will soon post an email address where oders can be made, and more interesting jewellery. One of a kind all different creations, no repeats.

5 min No Bake Cheesecake...

In a mixing bowl, mix 370g cream cheese,(must be at room temperature, to get most of the lumps out). Then add 400g tin of sweetened condensed milk, 250ml thickened cream and last 1/3 cup lemon or lime juice, the reaction of the citrus juice will start to set your mixture almost immediately. On the low speed of your hand mixer, blend well until all ingredients are incorporated. Immediately pour mixture into pre-prepared crust. Refrigerate for 1 – 1 ½ hours.
For the crust take 250g of your favourite plain biscuits and crush well. Stir in 125g of melted butter and press into the base of a lined spring-form tin.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
