I'M GOING TO BE OKAY!!!!

OK my . tumour is benign. It is a rare one apparently - mummy says so am I. It's called an infiltrating lympho something. It is taking over my muscle and replacing it and they can't remove it. It will just keep growing but they have some special tablets for me. They want to see me every 2 months to check it doesn't turn into a spreading naughty one. My mummy is so happy and so am I!!!!

Thank you to everyone all around the world who has been praying with my mummy and to all Buddy Valastro's followers who popped on here. Cake Boss's cakes rule!!!.. after Mummy's of course!!!

Lots of love from Zip

My holiday

Just got back from holiday. I went to stay with my Nanny and Grandad in South Wales for a week. I spent my time with them and my twin brother Jazz. It was brilliant. My mummy and daddy went on to Cornwall for a few days. They had a lovely time and have loads of pictures.

Mummy is SO PROUD of the rugby team. Wales forever!!!!

14 Welsh men against 16 French men - one of them the referee.
How can someone who is half French referee a game with France and not be one sided? I'm surprised he didn't send all the Welsh team off just to make it really easy for the French. He was probably a bit sore about Wales having just knocked Ireland out of the world cup seeing as he was half Irish too....

My Mummy says she has found the perfect Cornish pasty, and trust me, she has sampled them from ALL OVER Cornwall....and she found the best ever fish and chips. She'll put up all the details but she needs to check with the places first to see if it's ok with the pasty place and the chippie to mention them here.

Lots of piccies soon.

Had a really cool hair cut while I was there.

I love my time with Nanny and Grandad. Mummy says they are the best in the whole wide world.

Got to go to the vets on Monday for my biopsy and operation. Wish me luck

Mummy's Microwave Syrup Pudding Recipe - treacle pudd

Here it is ... it is worth the wait.

FREE RECIPE TIME with me.
No sieving, no fancy mix this one way, add a bit at a time... just chuck it all in a bowl together and mix it up!

Lots of variations too.... like chocolate sponge pudding with a gooey choccy middle or lemon sponge with a lemon curd runny middle...

Raw ingredients to tummy in 10 minutes.... YUMMY!!!

For pudding
4 oz soft margarine
4 oz sugar
4 oz self raising flour
1/2 (half) teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water

For yummy
golden syrup

Grease a basin/bowl
Put a few spoons of golden syrup in it. Pour in the mixed ingredients for pudding
Cover with cling film and pierce
Cook on high for 6 minutes
Stand for 3 mins
Empty onto plate upside down so the treacle you put in first is now on the top!!

EAT
My mummy likes to make a treacle sauce with a bit of boiling water added to a spoon of syrup and poured over sponge. The sponge soaks it up and yummmmmmmm.

If you do the variations...
To make the sponge choclatey swap a tablespoon of flour for one of cocoa or drinking choccy. However many spoons you add you must take away the flour. Swap one spoon dry ingredient for another. Then put half the mix in the bowl, put in a few truffles or Lindor or just some pieces of choccy, then the rest of the mix and follow rest of cooking instructions

For the lemony one try adding some zest to the mixture and using a massive spoon of lemon curd in the middle.

Let me know if you find any other variations..... PLEASE!!!!

Mummy tried it with homemade jam once but it didn't rise properly. Still tasted yummy though so it's all a bit trial and error. The recipes I have shared all work though.

REMEMBER - you can have these pudds in your tummy in only 10 minutes!!!

mummy's scary cake

My mummy made this cake. 5 layers of red sponge carved into a skull and a snake from rice krispies covered in fondant. SPOOKY. It's a skull snake and ivy cake.

Wales are through!!!!

Mummy seems rather happy today. She has stopped shouting at the telly and screaming and made a huge trifle and a tray of flapjacks instead.

Well done Wales. Win the next one and I might get some nice pies.
