Chocolate Mousse Cake!

My hubby did the Great South Run on Sunday after only two weeks of training! So thought I'd make him an extra special cake to celebrate! Not sure why I decided upon 'diabetes on a plate' but two tubs of double cream and 2 full size slabs of chocolate later I managed to produce this:

I got the recipe from this website, took me ages but at least it actually worked (only collapsed a little on one side cos I didn't tape the parchment properly and there was a gap) and tasted very yummy and chocolaty, and my husband liked it, so that's the main thing... Have to say though I felt quite guilty for making it after... Hope I haven't just shortened his life by a few years!

So, overall a success!! Well it took me long enough! However next time I think I will have a little more cake and lot less mousse! The mousse is lovely but just drowns out the cake. Also the cake was a little dry so next time I will use my standard fail-safe moist chocolate cake recipe (let me know if you want it!). Also I can see why the recipe says to make 8 small ones not one huge one, but I didn't have 8 ramekins and I wanted to make a centrepiece type cake. I think it turned out pretty well considering!

What's the difference between these two brains?

Just read this article, made me really sad and kinda angry, im guessing not all mums do this deliberatly or even realise they're doing it, but just seems so unfair, I thought I'd share it in the hope of making more people aware. Check out the link below:

Widgey Pillow Review

So, been using my widgey pillow a lot since I got it, thought it was time for a review so far!

It's larger than I thought, the size of a normal pillow basically except a different shape, as you can see in the picture. It's quite firm though, much firmer than a normal pillow. This makes it great for supporting your lower back as well as, I have discovered, making it a great support for lying on your front - you can put your bump in the 'hole' in the middle. This is great as it had started to get very uncomfortable to lie on my front, I couldn't basically. Annoying when you want to e.g. for a massage, but now I can!

Finally, there ar several positions you can it in as a sleep aid. I don't find this quite as helpful as I feel I'd prefer something softer for sleeping, however it's still quite nice. So yes, so far I definitely recommend gthe widgey pillow. Has anyone else tried it out? If so let me know what you think below. I can't wait to try it out for it's original purpose in a few months inshaAllah! =D

Oh also I love it's red cover, very cheerful looking!

What is this and where can I get it??

Or make it??

Mmmm I LOVE this stuff!! Had it in Turkey a few years back when my husband and I went for a week in the xmas hols. I remember eating this amazing lasagne like pie thing but then totally forgot what it was called so have never had it since!

Anyway the other day I was looking through my old photos and realised I'd taken a picture of it! Woohoo!! So now I'm hoping somebody will recognise it and tell me where to get it or, even better, give me the recipe - please??? I'll make you some too!!

If you know please leave me a comment below!! thanks!!
