'Blood and Bones' Muffins!

Blood = Beetroot, and Bones = white choc chunks!

500g Beetroot (cook,drain,blend,cool), 250g self raising flour, 225g sugar, 1 teaspn baking powder, 2 eggs, 75 ml veg oil ( I use Olive oil), 75 ml milk and a handful of white Choc chunks.

Mix oil, eggs and sugar, add flour/baking powder, add cooled/blended beetroot, add milk.

Bake for about 20 to 30min on about 180. Check after 20min as ovens do vary. You'll get about 12 to 16 larger ones but this year I'm going to make mini muffin sized ones so I should get loads!

Dark Artists from Folksy - chills for Halloween.....

I was going to do a post featuring Halloween clothing items but Folksy are already featuring some great things and I suspect that they'll be plenty of Blogs covering that aspect by the end of the week. So I thought I'd do a different aspect and had a look at some of the more gothic art being produced. Some amazing things.....here's what I found.....
