Making your own (delicious) granola for a fraction of the price of that sugar-laden poison they sell in the supermarkets.

What are the ingredients? Always wanted to start that
250g Porridge Oats
3 tablespoons Honey
3 tablespoons (melted) Coconut Oil
Dried fruits (mixes can be bought in Supermarket) to your liking.
Nut mixes (Almond, Walnut, etc)
Seed mixes (Pumpkin, Sunflower, etc)
Ground Cinnamon (to your taste)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Place the mixture on a baking try and mix well.
Preheat oven to 175°C and put in for 20 minutes.
Take out and mix the mixture around every 5 minutes or so.
Keep an eye on the mix after the 15 minute mark to ensure that the granola doesn't get burned, because every oven is different.

Edit: add the dried fruits AFTER the mix is baked in the oven and has cooled sufficiently.

Jaysus fair play. I thought I was a hero clicking together a bit of laminate!

Haha thanks. There was a fair bit of swearing/sweating. My knees and back were bollixed by the end of it.


That's a fine bit of work there. No wonder you were delighted. If I did that I'd be dragging in strangers off the road to have a look

It's not gone forever is it?? Unreal festival so much fun

The landowner passed away I think and I heard it's kaput. Awful shame.

Just had a phantom shit. What sorcery is this?

Putting a Guinness stew together here. I would give up women if I could ride the odours in this kitchen!

Lads strolling about in December in t-shirts. My (Spanish) missus is always amazed at this.
Mind you, all I wear is a hoodie while she's wearing half a wardrobe to keep warm.

Half day today and then the guts of three weeks offski. Elated isn't the word :)

Arrived in the in-laws yesterday evening. Wee lad whisked off by the grandparents as soon as he woke up this morning; got almost 11 hours sleep until midday today. Incredible feeling!  :laugh:

Hahaha, lovely stuff.  :laugh:
Well deserved I'm sure......

I never understood why people have kids. Sounds like absolute torture 😆

I always thought the same, then they squirt out in the delivery room, and that's you snookered. You care about someone else more than yourself for the first time in your life.

That being said, I was pissed off with him once and told him that if I could get all the money back that I'd spent on the little prick  in his 8 years of existence and all the other shit in anticipation of him before that I could have bought a nice holiday gaff with no mortgage.

It's when the se i

This is pretty much it, but then when a second pops out two years later you really start to reevaluate those life choices

This doesn't really help understand why we have kids in the first place; only why we don't kill the little pricks after they've arrived :laugh:
