How to Make Angel Delight

Chocolate Angel Delight

If you’re looking for the actual manufacturing process then I’m sorry. I have to let you down.

A popular British treat and one of my personal favourites is Angel Delight. (People call it Angel Delight even if they have skimped and brought the supermarket’s own brand.) What else would you call jelly made out of milk? Well, it’s not jelly, but it gives you an idea if you’ve not had this stuff before. If you’ve never tried it I recommend it to you. Go and buy some now!

Back? Ok then, ignore the instructions. This is the best way to make the stuff.

  1. Take a clean and dry protein shake shaker
  2. Pour in 300ml of semi-skimmed or whole milk. (2% is fine if that’s what you have.)
  3. Tear open the packet of Angel Delight and pour the powder on top of the milk
  4. Place the grille in the top of the shaker
  5. Screw on the lid and ensure any drinking caps are secure
  6. Shake it! (Put your thumb over anything that doesn’t screw on)
  7. Give it about ten seconds of vigorous shaking
  8. Let it rest for about fifteen to twenty seconds
  9. Shake it for another twenty seconds
  10. Unscrew and pour into desert container / bowl
  11. Leave for five to eight minutes in the refridgerator

Consume, Eat, Devour, Enjoy!

Whatever you do. Never use a whisk.

Try it, and tell me what you think!

Shrove

Today was pancake day.

I’m not going to say a great deal about it really. Only that initially I forgot all about it. When I remembered I quickly learned a very important lesson. Read the rest of this entry »

Do Better

There are so many service providers in the world, some good some bad. There’s no way you could possibly know the quality you can expect from an individual provider unless you try their services or someone else recommends them. Or warns you. Today, I bring you a warning. Read the rest of this entry »

Spice Island

Every now and again you find a local restaurant which is genuinely reputable. The sort of establishment to which you look forward to returning. Don’t mistake me, I’ve not yet joined the ranks of the grand-a-night diners! However, I do enjoy good tasty food, professional service, consistency and value. I suppose I ought to have put consistency first on that list as to my mind knowing what you are going to get is very important. Perhaps my sense of adventure is deficient but I like knowing that my lamb dansak will taste very similar to the last one. Read the rest of this entry »

Time Off

I took the day off today. I’m changing jobs soon and so have four days of leave above those which I can carry over to my new role. Having to take the day off was rough. I sat at home, practically the whole day weeping because I wasn’t able to be at work. Read the rest of this entry »

Dairy Milk

I read today that Kraft Food Inc. has agreed the price for the purchase of Cadbury Schweppes. The amount of money due to be exchanged as part of this deal is mind boggling. Read the rest of this entry »

Peanut Butter Cookies

Just a short entry today. I thought I would take a moment to praise the many and varied virtues of the humble peanut butter cookie. These wonderful treats, best served warm with a cool glass of milk (Semi-skimmed if you are concerned about fat of course) are easy to bake miracles of comfort. Read the rest of this entry »

Dark Fire – by CJ Sansom

The second of fifty-two books I will read this year is Dark Fire. A cajoling crime novel set in Henry VIII’s sixteenth century London. Falling from the pen of Christopher Sansom, himself qualified to practice law in England and Wales, the plot follows humble, honest, and yet streetwise barrister Matthew Shardlake as he investigates a murder and the disappearance of the eponymous Dark Fire. You take a curious character, hump and all, and drop him in the thick of the historic plots against Thomas Cromwell. Read the rest of this entry »
