Instead of running away to Portugal I have reduced my hours to three days a week. This still equates to four days once you include planning and marking but that's better than 6.
Today I actually feel like I have changed my life and things will be better. I think it was the long walk in the sun yesterday which made a difference, coming home to a beer soaked lamb joint on the BBQ and chilling watching the house martins and clouds.
Yesterday I ran out of Kahlua probably just as well as it was at least two Christmases old. So in true Good Life style I have made my own today.
Homemade Kahlua
500 ml spring water
100 g Rapadura sugar
300 g caster sugar
100 g Carte Noire coffee
375 ml Vodka
1 vanilla pod cut in half lengthways
1. Heat water and sugar to mix then simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Add coffee (cool slightly before adding or it may boil over) bring back to boil.
3. Cool.
4. In a large jar - vodka and vanilla pod, add coffee mix when cool.
5. Leave for 2 weeks, swirling daily,
6. Strain in muslin to remove vanilla then bottle.
