Creamy Cheese Cake

Packet of digestive biscuits
A little butter to bind biscuits
1 – 2 pots of Philadelphia Cheese
1 box icing sugar

Crush up digestives into small pieces (bash with rolling pin its great fun)
Melt some butter and mix into the digestives, press into a loose bottom cake tin or a shallow dish
Place in fridge for 15-20 minutes to set.

Mix Philadelphia cheese with sifted icing sugar, use as much Icing sugar to get the sweetness you want (this means testing the cheese mixture but NOT eating it J
Keep stirring until smooth and no lumps.
Once the digestive mixture is set, gently spread the cheese mixture on top.
Put in the fridge to set for a couple of hours

Then add the topping you want, you can use fresh fruit or tinned fruit. If using strawberries out of season, use both tinned and fresh as the fresh ones will not be very sweet.
If you want to use tinned mandarins/oranges you can always use chocolate digestives as a base.

Egg Sharing (Science at its best)

The egg-sharing programme brings together women who need IVF and cannot afford the cost of the programme and are willing to donate some of their eggs with other infertile women unable to produce their own eggs. Did you know that in 1994 an egg sharer and her matched recipient gave birth on exactly the same day but in different countries! Every attempt is made to closely match the physical characteristics between Egg-sharer and Egg-Recipient.

There are many women who have no hope of pregnancy without donated eggs. Their loss of ovarian function could be due to a genetic cause or to treatment for cancer. Premature menopause can be devastating and it can occur as early as the teenage years. To become an Egg-sharer HFEA (Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) guidelines state that unless there are exceptional circumstances you should be 35 and 6 months or younger at the time of initial consultation and have completed your treatment cycle by your 36th birthday, have been a non-smoker for at least three months, and have an FSH (blood hormone level) of less than eight U.I. (International Units). You should also be free of transmissible diseases and inheritable disorders, and should not suffer from severe endometriosis or have demonstrated previous hyper-stimulation. Certain initial screening tests are required prior to acceptance and these will be discussed at your initial meeting. Generally these include HIV, hepatitis B & C (repeated six monthly) and blood group.

Some clinics offer free IVF treatment if you become an egg sharer. I think this is an amazing opportunity for couples who cannot afford to have the IVF cycle. By becoming an egg sharer you are not only fulfilling your dreams but also of another childless couple. Now, what more could be more amazing than that?

Sizzling Lamb Chops

Hey all food lovers,

Summer’s here (well…you just have to agree on that with me), so thought of sharing this secret recipe to tantalise your taste buds. There aren’t many recipes out there for barbecue lamb chops so maybe there’s no demand? Well lamb is my favourite meat for the BBQ pit so I’m going to do it justice.

Ingredients:
Lamb chops
Yoghurt
Ginger, garlic, green chillie – paste
Barbecue sauce
Light Soy sauce
White wine vinegar
Red wine vinegar
Splash of tomato ketchup
Salt to taste

Mix above ingredients together, leave it to marinate for at least 4 hours (the longer the better). Barbecue over the hot coals turning the meat frequently! Use tongs to turn the chops to keep the juices in and avoid flare ups.
The chops are ready when the juices run clear.
That’s it, sit back and enjoy……………

Laser treatment for facial hair

Are you sick and tired of the pain from the regular waxing, threading and shaving.Then,this is an ideal treatment for all skin types and is a popular treatment for both men and women and for young and older skins.Yes, it is safe.Initially you will be given a consultation appointment with your laser nurse, where you will discuss your skin type, cause for the excess facial hair and will undergo a skin test to make sure your skin does not have any side effects. Most individual's permanent hair reduction will be between about 65 - 75% after 3 treatments. Most people need 4 - 6 treatments. Some touchups may be needed over time. The hair that is left on a treated area is usually much lighter and finer than the hair you had before the laser treatments.

-Do not apply moisturizers or makeup on the area to be treated.
-You need to be freshly shaven on the area(s) your want to have lasered.

Make sure you apply lots of pure Aloe Vera gel after you hadyour treatment, to keep your skin cool.

Shop around, and always go to a laser nurse recommended by someone you know.

Happy hair free days....

Seasons's best choice

Nothing sums up to the taste of summer like a juicy melon. These fleshy fruits are great with savoury foods and are deliciously refreshing blended in juices and smoothies. Watermelons are more than 90 per cent water and their sweet juice makes them the perfect thirst quencher. Giant watermelons are perfect for barbeques. Watermelon is loaded with antioxidants and good source of vitamins and minerals. The watermelon was believed to be first cultivated in Egypt. It was a very sought after fruit in Egypt. It is thought that the watermelon was so heavily sought after in Egypt because of its high water content. Many people probably depended on watermelon as a primary water source. I enjoy eating this exotic fruit, and as a matter of fact, bought it today and enjoyed. It tastes nice when served chilled.
