Cringe is as cringe does. Even though the internet is full of wonderful things like cat pics, wholesome local news, and articles written by yours truly, it’s also home to the vast and spooky wilderness where you’ll find the most bizarre and cringe-worthy posts. And it’s the members of the ‘Cringetopia’ subreddit that bears the heavy burden of documenting the cringiest examples to share (and publicly mock!) with the world. These cringetopians have a duty to show us what to never ever do while at the same time providing us with some hilariously weird content.
For the new year I wanted to make a healthier cake, so I whipped up this honey yogurt cake, which is so dreamy in my book… It’s sweetened with honey and has a mix of wheat and almond flour, coconut oil, a touch of vanilla, and a dash of lemon. I love it because it’s not too sweet! just right with great depth of flavor. I was going to pair this with a zesty lemon buttercream but decided it would be a bit overpowering. What I really wanted was to pile whipped cream on top and dig in, but as many of you know, whipped cream is not stable and is just not well suited for a layer cake. The solution? A mascarpone whipped cream mixture which is so good I can’t even describe with words how creamy and light it is, it pairs perfectly with all the berries I jammed into it. Did I mention that I ate an entire cake over the course of a day during the recipe development?
Nutelinolada Ne glede na to, ali gre za palačinke ali pa le za kos kruha, vedno je prisotna dilema, kaj za vraga gor namazati. Tudi če odpišemo cel spekter marmelad, se na koncu kreše...

Twenty years ago today we were waiting anxiously... wondering if we would ever get to meet our little Henibean....alive.... as we had been warned by doctors that trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) was incompatible with life. Today we have been celebrating Heni's 20th birthday... We never would have imagined at the beginning of those 20 years that she would be here right now and that she would still be gracing our lives with her presence. Today my post is a tribute and a birthday wish to our little Henibean.... I asked each family member what it is about Heni that they love, and why...... this is what they said :- Dad: Heni has an incredible ability to love..... not just any love but pure unconditional love. She is as I would describe as being completely without guile. In the 20 year that I have had the privilege of being her father I have never seen her react negatively to any human being. I think she must see people as God sees them. She looks past whether someone is smart or dumb, attractive or plain, fat or skinny, well dressed or poorly groomed.... she looks past all the external attributes that everyone else would focus on and pours out such a huge amount of love from the whole of her little body. Years ago I remember walking along a promenade in the south of France. As we were crossing the road a giant of a man (one that looked like you would not want to meet in a dark alley) looked down at Heni sitting in her wheelchair - He looked at her with that look that people often give. She immediately reached out her hand and grabbed his little finger and held on real tight. At first he was surprised, not knowing what to do but then seemed to soften and transformed right there before our eyes. He felt something.... he felt Heni's love.... he ended up walking down the pavement with us and her for about five or ten minutes... walking hand in hand beside her whilst she held on to him tightly. He was just one example out of hundreds, of someone who has "melted" from her pure love..... such is the effect that Heni can have on people if they stop and are open to it. She truly knows how to love as the Saviour loves and that is her greatest gift. She has the gift and ability to give love to everybody... indiscriminately, non judgmentally and unconditionally. What a wonderful talent is that? Daughter number two: I love that Heni is always so smiley. She always has the most gorgeous smile on her face and looks like what I can only describe as an angel. Some of my most precious and memorable times with her have been when I have spent time cuddling together on our old trampoline. Big brother: One thing that I love about Heni is that it doesn't seem to matter what her day has been like... she could have had a bad day ....but as soon as she sees you she instantly lights up, smiles and loves you unconditionally. She makes everyone feel loved.... including me. Recently I really enjoyed some time that we spent together as a family in the paddling pool in the garden. Heni got in to the water and realised that I was there and started splashing me...she was having a blast..... splashing water everywhere, smiling and hugging me and being cheeky. It's sometimes easy for other people to forget that she is so smart and so knowing and has such a fun loving special little personality. Sister in law Hannah: Heni has an ability to instantly make you feel loved. Her cheeky yet innocent nature is one of my favourite traits. She just has a wonderful sense of humour with an infectious laugh that brightens the most gloomy of days. The usual greeting from Heni is a slobbery kiss/ bite, a big grin or a good strong tug on your hair but she instinctively knows when it has been a hard day and will just wrap you in her arms, stroke your head and look you straight in the eye with a kind and reassuring smile. I trust Heni with all my secrets not because she can't tell anyone else but because she is the kindest, most forgiving and unjudgmental person I know. She is just the best. The hungry boy:- .... I like how cheeky Heni can be and how she can make people laugh.... and she can also be annoying! ( the answer that you expect from a 12 year old!!) Honorary big sister Gemma: The first time I met Heni, she was a lot smaller but still had the most wonderful smile that we all know and love today. I love the way she helps you in small ways like holding her back up when yo are trying to get her changed or giving you her foot or hand as if to say; "Massage me please?" Sometimes when she's been on the phone to either mum or dad- she listens, smiles and then does not reply...to wind them up! I think it's incredibly cheeky... but still love it....I know it's true love because who else would I let pull my hair, pinch my arm and bite my face and still come back for more? No one! There was once a time when Heni could commando crawl and romp around on the floor a little more than she does today. I was laying on my back next to her and she managed to get my head so she could see me. She laughed, burped and had a little re-flux that came out... and was sick all over me - gross! I asked if she did that on purpose and she laughed and did her body-nod ..her way of saying yes! The cheek! So Like I said true love- because even though she was sick on purpose- forgiveness is instant. You cant help but love her. Mum: Heni is a truly amazing person. As everyone has already said she has the most wonderful ability to make you feel like you are the most special person who has ever existed. Heni loves being with and interacting with people and would rather have a person in front of her than a toy.... any day (who wouldn't?). You can have the worst of days and as soon as she smiles at you or hugs you ...everything can just melt away (even if she has been the cause of the frustration! Today, on Heni's birthday, we went to church as usual ... while we were there we listened to a beautiful musical item called "I stand all amazed":- I stand all amazed That the love Jesus offers me Confused at the grace That so fully He proffers me I tremble to know that for me He was crucified That for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled and died Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me enough to die for me Oh, it is wonderful Wonderful to me I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine That he should extend His great love unto such as I Sufficient to own, to redeem and to justify Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me enough to die for me Oh, it is wonderful Wonderful to me I think of his hands, pierced and bleeding to pay the debt Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget? No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat Until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me Oh, it is wonderful Wonderful to me As I sit quietly in church on a Sunday one of the things I love to do is to massage Heni's hands and think of Christ .... "I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt" and massage the tiny indentation that she has on one of her hands.... I have no idea why it is there.... other than to be a constant reminder to me to try to become more like my Saviour every day and remind me of the love Jesus offers me.... through her. Heni is a constant reminder for me to try to love as He would love. I often get the impression that she has a very old/wise spirit in such a frail little body. She knows more than she can say, understands more than people think and has the patience and endurance of a saint. She is patient with my faults, gracious when I make mistakes and she loves me no matter what. When I am with Heni, being wrapped in her arms, It is the closest feeling that I can have on this earth to being wrapped about in the arms of my Saviour. She teaches me so much and I am forever grateful for the precious gift she is to me and my family... how very blessed we are to have her in our lives. We love you Heni. Happy 20th birthday!
