I've been having fun :)

Making rumballs. Yumyum.

It's a 3day process, and well worth it. I've now got 130 rumballs sitting in my fridge (there would have been more, but they had to go through a Quality Assurance process). I would have more, except I ran out of stuff to roll them in - oh well, a task for saturday morning, I guess.

But mmmmmmmmm. I love rumballs. :D

Please explain how to make rumballs!
But also squish Stephen a lot.
Froop.

I'm not privvy to the secret, but it starts with a bowl of prunes, and about 500ml of rum.

Well, pitted prunes soaked in rum overnight (although you could use raisins or sultanas, I suppose) overnight - puree, add to crumbed sponge cake, biscuits and weetbix, combine melted dark chocolate and condensed milk, add to rest of mix, refrigerate overnight, roll in choc sprinkles, and all done :) Little balls of chocolatey goodness.

I am told that the ones I make are slightly heretical - the real aussie rumball has far more coconut, and probably far less rum. And less chocolate. And less condensed milk. And less cake. And is, in short, no-where near as fun :)

Thank you for complying with the first part of my message!
Please also indicate complying with the squishing part.

That's a lot of rumballs!

[aiofe.livejournal.com]

It certainly is :) And they're mostly for giving away - I don't think even steve's metabolism could easily absorb quite this many ;)

How many had to be sampled for QA?

[aiofe.livejournal.com]

Oh, only about 10, or so, that I know about *suspicious look at housemates*.

Just love rumballs. Love you anyway, but even more if there's still some by the time I get back for Christmas.

Dates! Times! Steve and I both have the week from Christmas to New Years' off; will you be around?
