Great recipe, Charlie 🙂

I too love Famous Five and wondered why my life wasn’t as exciting and then I too wanted to go to a boarding school like Malory Towers! I do remember my teacher telling me though that when I went to my 11+ interview, not to mention Enid Blyton as a favourite author! I loved her books though. These bars look yummy and easy to throw together. I have everything in my pantry right now.

My son is into reading now and I’m so blessed. My husband is a big reader but I wasn’t. I still read English so slow that’s ridiculous (after living here for 15 years). Anyway, I shouldn’t give up yet and read more books…although now it seems like more blog posts reading than book reading. But I think my English reading skill is better haha. Your mom is a baker and so you are. How nice to have family baked recipes around.

I think I would have read a lot more as a child if I knew I was coming here to these. 🙂

I guess the children of today have moved on to other literature – they don’t know what they are missing.

Now the only time I go is to vote. I need to change that. There’s no need to own every book I read. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. 🙂

During the past 10 years I’ve been trying to catch up on all of the books I missed. I LOVE to read! These chews look delicious! love the fruit and ginger!

I still love to go and browse and sit and read and relax.
