To try and be creative with my blogging address has taken all afternoon as I scoured the internet to find a suitable African name but all the ones I wanted were taken. Eventually I came up with "am-ikhaya" which roughly translated from Xhosa means "my home" or "my family" and that's what my blog is hopefully going to be about. My home life and my sometimes crazy family!
Today I am craving chocolate and there is nothing in the house! I have gone for a whole week without chocolate in my desperate attempt to loose the festive period weight that somehow found its way to my stomach, hips and thighs. Then I remembered a recipe that a friend emailed me many years ago - chocolate pudding in a mug! But I've lost the recipe as my old PC crashed last week but thank you, thank you internet as I've found it. All I need to do is pop out for the chocolate and ice cream and then I'm away. Thought I would share the recipe:

| Chocolate Pudding in a Mug |
Ingredients:
4 tbsp self-raising flour 4 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp cocoa 1 egg
3 tbsp milk 3 tbsp oil
3 tbsp chocolate chips 1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp liqueur of your choice (optional)
Method:
Get a big mug. Add flour, sugar, cocoa and mix well. Add egg and mix again followed by milk and oil. Mix well. Add chocolate chips and vanilla mixing well before placing in microwave on a plate. Cook for ± 2 to 2½ minutes. Don't panic if it goes over the top.
