There is really no end to what you can make with chocolate.

Have you ever had Chocolate Spaghetti, and really loved it ?

"DINO'S BURGER BAR"

WELCOME TO THE DINOSAUR BAR.
But today Dino's bar is taken over by Dido's cousin Chico.
Now you may all be wondering why is Chico here, and what for.
Has he got a new style burger? No!
Maybe he has a new Veggie Dish? No! 

Shall I tell you? ........
Okay he makes CHOCOLATE.  
And what he doesn't know about chocolate isn't worth knowing! See! I mean do you know that chocolate  comes from a bean.
Yea, a little bean that grows on a tree. To be precise A Cacao Tree. Cacao is a Spanish word that came from the Aztec people, who lived many, many, years ago. They called it CACAHUATL, then when the Spanish conquistadors such as Hernán Cortés and Bernal Díaz del Castillo.,  went into their country which was in the middle of what we now call Mexico, they took it and gave it to the world. It was still known as Cacao then, but somewhere along the way it became Cocoa . Dark Chocolate, is Cacao Flowervery bitter and many children hate it. I don't like it and I'm ancient, but Peter my husband he loves it, and the darker the better, yuck!. I do love the flower of the Cacao Tree, it is really lovely, take a look.....
Don't you think it looks a bit like an orchid, very beautiful.
I bet you didn't know either that there is NO chocolate at all in what the sweet makers call White Chocolate. It is white and it looks a bit like a chocolate bar but it isn't. So when mummy says "no Molly , you can't have any white chocolate." you can tell her that white chocolate isn't chocolate, hehehe
Smile. These are
the Cacao Pods
The same goes for the chocolate that people buy to decorate cakes, that is just chocolate coloured candy and nothing else, hehe., These on your right are the Cacao Pods, while these on the left are the actual cacao beans, but they take a long, long time to grow first on the tree, then as flowers, then as bean pods and now as the actual beans. You and I can't be Cacao Beansbothered with all them things. I'll let you go to "Wiki" to read about them, and we'll just go straight to the chocolate.
As we all know, by the way we are told if we eat to much chocolate we shall change into horrible little, or big goblins and this isn't just a special thing for children. My husband becomes very active and always ends up taking the dogs for a long walk. Hm m m, strange creatures men. 
Here is a very strange recipe for you, you can use, rice krispies, corn flakes,
and even spaghetti, but this has to be cooked first. eat them as a cake or eat them in small cake cases, but the spaghetti is better in a bowl
You need 12oz margarine. 2 tblsp of Castor Sugar. 2tblsp of cocoa. 2 drops of vanilla essence and 100 grams spaghetti, broken into pieces about six cm. long, "about mouth size."
Get mum or dad to help you with cooking the spaghetti. Pour a litre water into a large saucepan, when boiling pour in the strands of spaghetti, add a pinch of salt but it's not necessary. Boil until it is just cooked, no more or it will chocolate
pasta Linguinego all gooey and stick together, and we don't want that. Put in strainer and hold under the hot tap till the pieces separate. Mix all the other ingredients together in the empty pan and mix well, then pour in the strained spaghetti and stir until it is coated in the sticky chocolate spread. Allow to cool, then eat till you puke, lol.
When the Aztec had all the cacoa, they used it as we do money today.
My Uncle George was a foreman at one of the big Cadbury's Chocolate Factories, here in Wales in Bangor-isy -Coed, I remember as a little one having loads of it for Christmas and Easter. Huge slaps, with a flag in the middle, and he used to bring us "Edinburgh Rock" all different colours and a bit like chalk only more tasty. You can still buy it, but it is nothing like the one we had in the fifties, real scrummie. ( I think Diddily is very old, oh dear.)
One of the thing's I used to love doing was making a very strange mixture. My three boys used to love them.A collection of different coated apples..
Take one green eating apple, (cos they are the hardest) for each person. then you need a lge pkt of plain crisps, two of my lads used to have cheese and onion, and a good make, small bar of dark or milk chocolate. (not white)
Very carefully core the apple with corer, cut the apples in half, then with a spoon remove the flesh of the apple. DON'T BREAK THROUGH THE SKIN, you are refilling this after, do the same to other half of the apple. Now for the fun bit.
Chop the apple into a dish, crush the crisps in the packet till tiny bits. and then grate the chocolate bar into same bowl. Mix the three together, when fully mixed together, put the mix back into the apple skin half, put on a tray and put in the fridge till nice and cold. And all
you have left to do is eat it like you would an ordinary apple. Excellent and your getting heat from the chocolate; vitamin C from the apple and carbs from the crisps. Three of your five a day in one go.
Right that's enough about chocolate. I shall look for more recipes. xxx
Diddily dee dot, xxx

Here are a few things you may or may not know about the Emerald Isles,

  Loads more at page Ireland, on Dodies Dream World

HERE ARE TWENTY FIVE FACTS ABOUT THE WONDERFUL IRISH

AND THE PLACE THEY LOVE.
wee leprechaun


• Ireland's largest church is St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin?

• The Popularity of Patrick as a Christian name in Ireland is due to the great 17th century general, Patrick Sarsfield, not our patron saint?

• The word íochtar (eek-tur) literally means lower part and is often used for the youngest child in an Irish family?


• George Bernard Shaw bequeathed one third of his estate to the National Gallery in Dublin, claiming that he received his education there?

• Guinness's fermenting vessel ferments 2,304,000 pints at one brewing?

• According to old custom, a piece of candle, a coin and a small quantity of wine or spirits should be placed next to someone who has died? The candle was to give the deceased light, the coin was to pay the fare over the river of death, and the liquor was to sustain him or her on their journey.

• Mass has been celebrated every Sunday at Ballintubber Abbey in Co. Mayo since 1216?

• Swallowing a live frog was an old Irish cure for a stomach ache?

• St. James's Gate Brewery is built on the site where, since medieval times, Dubliners held an annual drinking festival every 25th July to celebrate the feastday of St. James?

• Emmett Square in Birr, Co. Offaly, marks the centre of Ireland?

• Dublin was originally called Dubh Linn meaning Black Pool? The pool to which the name referred is the oldest known in Northern Europe and currently forms the centre-piece of the penguin enclosure in Dublin Zoo.

• Chieftains in medieval Ulster went out of their way to marry Scotswomen because their dowries consisted of axe-wielding galloglass mercenaries? When Turlough Luineach O'Neill married Lady Agnes MacDonald of Kintyre in 1568, she brought 10,000 troops with her.

• Ireland's smallest church is at Portbraden in Co. Antrim? Only ten feet long by six feet wide, the structure is dedicated to St. Gobhnan - the patron saint of builders. (huh?!)

• Mulgrave Street in Limerick, which contains two hospitals, a prison and a lunatic asylum, is known as 'Calamity Avenue' by the locals?


• The sinister sounding Bloody Foreland in County Donegal owes its name to its magnificent sunsets?

• Every spring, more than twenty million eels swim into the River Bann to breed?

• In the village of Ballyporeen, Co, Tipperary, there's a pub called The Ronald Reagan Bar?

• Charles Stuart Parnell was known as the Uncrowned King of Ireland?

• Irish women received the right to vote before American women?

• A river called the Poddle runs under Dublin Castle?

Beware the Witches. Then Beware the Willowdown



 
BEWARE!

Beware the witches when they throw their hazel-wood switches!
Beware the watchers when they wind their cadmium watches!
heed not the creed of the Foul Centipede
or sit on the grass where the Millipede pee'd -
for urine of such
and doctrine most foul
are harmful to touch
with bargepole or trowel:
The camel hawks not
nor proud lions growl
and silence subdues the hoot of an owl.
Beware the deposits of multi - limbed creatures,
of poets, and painters, and itinerant preachers.

Shut up your ears with cotton and wax,
with plugs of soft moss

and shredded up fax...
Above all, beware of witches that whistle,
who juggle with plums
and gargle with thistles.
Beware of the Watchers
who squint and who stare
and never ride twice
on the same Midnight Mare.
Beware of the Bogie
and the Hob-goblins mum -
Never make jokes about the size of her bum!
Beware of the men who live in dark sheds,
especially the ones with hundreds of legs.
Beware, beware, O children beware,
beware of the Watchers who leer and who stare,
beware of the Witchs with tall, pointed hats,
and never go off with any talkative cats!...

Naturally the wonderful Willowdown©1985

would you believe Alfred again, this time Noyes. He is brilliant.

Wizards.
By the one and only Alfred Noyes.

There's many a proud wizard in Araby and Egypt
Can read the silver writing of the stars as they run;
And many a dark gypsy, with a pheasant in his knapsack,
Has gathered more by moonshine than wiser men have won;
But I know a Wizardry
Can take a buried acorn
And whisper forests out of it, to tower against the sun.
Turkish Magician
There's many a magician in Bagdad and Benares
Can read you for a penny - what your future is to be;
And a flock of crazy prophets that by staring at a crystal
Can fill it with more fancies than there's herring in the sea;
But I know a Wizardry
Can break a freckled egg-shell
And shake a thrush out of it, in every hawthorn tree.

MerlinThere's many a crafty alchemist in Mecca and Jerusalem;
And Michael Scott and Merlin were reckoned to be wise;
But I know a wizardry
Can take a wisp of sun-fire
And round it to a planet, and roll it through the skies,
With cities, and sea ports, and little shining windows,
And hedge-rows and gardens, and loving human eyes.

"Oh wow, isn't that wonderful kids, I love this guy Alfred Noyes.
He writes some of the best poetry and rhymes in the world,
 and I think most of them on on my websites,
Smile."

From the Lady of Shallott I now go with Alfred to visit the Sleeping Beauty. Seligor xxx

The Sleeping Beauty.
This a blog of The Sleeping Beauty, but this is no ordinary sleeping beauty, this is the Sleeping Beauty," written in poetry form by the wonderful ALFRED LORD TENNYSON. It is amazing and I must say it is the first time I have come across it even though I have several of Tennyson's Poetry books. The most fantastic verse is verse nine!, yes NINE, he didn't do anything by half, look at "The Lady of Shallott, Which truely is fantastic and if you want to hear a great vocal version of this. Take a trip to YouTube, type "Loreena McKennitt," into the browser and then click go. At the moment there is only, I say only with no distraction, as "only Live is magical. You can of course purchase her music in every "good music shop." as they say in the adverts. She has also done a rendition of "The Highwayman," by Alfred Noyes, this to is brilliant both as a poem by the wonderful Alfred Noyes and the DVD version of Loreena McKennitt's. I think I have a thing about Alfred, but maybe not, My first husband was an Alfred, didn't think much of him. The next two were okay, but this one now is called Peter, and a bit damn nice yummy yum.
Anyway one day I will print my life story, wow, but not today. Today is the Sleeping Beauty , well only the forst two verses. I'm afraid eleven vrsesi is going a bit far. But! should you want them, I am sure you will find them somewhere, if not I'll copy them off my web page.
Here you go , just realised I could do it the easy way , hmm

Once again here is a classic fairy story. The Sleeping Beauty by "Alfred Lord Tennyson."
Sleeping Beauty, surely that is a story, a fairy tale ? or Pantomime! But did you know that it was a wonderful poem as well. This was no ordinary poet, this was written by the Poet Laureate "Alfred Lord Tennyson" It is really lovely don't you think?

Sleeping Beauty

Year after year unto her feet,
She lying in her couch alone,
Across the purple coverlet
The maiden's jet-black hair has grown,
On either side her trancèd form
Forth streaming from a braid of pearl :
The slumberous light is rich and warm,
And moves not on the rounded curl.

The silk star-broider'd coverlid
Unto her limbs itself doth mould
Languidly ever; and, amid
Her full black ringlets downward roll'd,
Glows forth each softly-shadow'd arm
With bracelets of the diamond bright :
Her constant beauty doth inform
Stillness with love, and day with light.


The fairy Prince with joyful eyesShe sleeps :
her breathings are not heard
In palace chambers far apart
The fragrant tresses are not stirr'd
That lie upon her charmèd heart.
She sleeps : on either hand upswells
The gold- fringed pillow lightly prest :
She sleeps, nor dreams, but ever dwells
A perfect form in perfect rest.

All precious things, discover'd late,
To those that seek them issue forth;
For love in sequel works with fate,
And draws the veil from hidden worth.
He travels far from other skies -
His mantle glitters on the rocks -
A fairy Prince, with joyful eyes,
And lighter-footed than the fox.

He comes, scarce knowing what he seeks :
He breaks the hedge : he enters there :
The colour flies into his cheeks :
He trusts to light on something fair;
For all his life the charm did talk
About his path, and hover near
With words of promise in his walk,
And whisper'd voices at his ear.

More close and close his footsteps wind :
The Magic Music in his heart
Beats quick and quicker, till he find
The quiet chamber far apart.
His spirit flutters like a lark,
He stoop - to kiss her - on his knee.
"Love, if hey tresses be so dark,
How dark those hidden eyes must be !"

If I had known I could have sent it through the line I would have copied the lot onto a blog. Have to practise this bit. I wonder if you can do it with someone else. You haven't got my beautiful pictures though that I coloured specially.
Bye for now Seligor, of Seligor's Castle the Home of Diddilydeedot and Co.

The Highwayman written by the Wonderful Alfred Noyes


The Highwayman ~ Alfred Noyes









THE HIGHWAYMAN
by
Alfred Noyes

Part One
        
I
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
Riding-riding-
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

II
He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. his boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butts a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.

THE FARMER'S ROUND
Farm
FIRST comes January,
     The sun lies very low:
I see in the farmer's yard
     The cattle feed on stro'.
Farmercattle! cow
Next is February,

     So early in the spring:
The farmer ploughs the fallows,
     The rooks their nest begins.

March it is the next month,
farmer brewing beer
     So cold and hard and drear:
Prepare we now for harvest,
     By brewing of strong beer.

God grant that we who labour
     May see the reaping come,
And
Farmer sowing corndrink and dance and welcome
     The Happy Harvest Home.


I'm afraid my Mum's illness is taking up a lot of my spare time at the hospital.
But I haven't forgotten where you are, Seligor xxx

hey this could be the theme tune for the House of Commons, Some new jobs they could all apply for.

Who Liveth so Merry?

Could it be the Politicians of the House of Commons,

 Read on great poem for this occasion.

Due to the recent affairs of spending and overspending within this
wonderful collection of politician's and their abnormal expense accounts.
I came across this poem, don't know who by again,
but it made me laugh, as I think of today in the House of Commons.


Who Liveth So Merry



Who liveth so merry in all this land
As doth the poor widow who selleth the sand

And ever she sings as I can guess
Will you buy any sand, any sand mistress


The broomsman he makes his living most sweet

With selling his brooms from street to street

Who could imagine a pleasanter thing
Than all the day long doing nothing but sing
 
And the chimney sweeper all the long day

He singeth and sweepeth the soot away

And when he gets home although he be weary

With his sweet wife he makes himself full merry

But the cobbler he sits and he cobbles till noon
He works at his shoes till they be done

And doth he not fear and doth he not say

For he knows that his work very soon will decay

The merchantman sails across the sea
He lies at his shipboard with little ease

He's always in fear that the rock it be near
How can he be merry and be of good cheer

And the serving man waiteth from street to street
With blowing his nails and beating his feet
He serveth for forty shillings a year
How can he be merry and be of good cheer
 
Who liveth so merry and be of such sport

As those that be of the poorest sort

The poorest sort whosoever they be

They gather together by one two and three
 

And every man shall spend his penny
Why make such a show 'mongst a great a many.
And every man shall spend his penny
Why make such a show 'mongst a great a many.
May 14

This is the story in verse of the Man in the Moon, Written over a hundred years ago by the wonderful Edith E Millard


 THE MAN IN THE MOON
by Edith E Millard 1832 - 1891

The Man in the Moon is a friend of mine,
He comes when the stars begin to shine:
I fancy he lights them, one by one,
And never rests till his work is done.

Sometimes I do not see him at all,
And I think, most likely, he has to call
And shout for the stars that would rather try
To play hide and seek in the big blue skies.

The other night, to my great surprise,
The Man in the Moon had tears in his eyes;
He looked so sad and his mouth drooped down,
And he gave me the most tremendous frown!

"Poor Man in the Moon, I am sorry!" I said,
"Have you lost some stars?" but he shook his head;
He could not tell me what was amiss,
So I waved my hand and threw him a kiss.

For more than a week there was rain or snow,
And the wind was very angry- I heard it blow;
But the Man in the Moon I could not see,
The dark clouds hid him away from me.

Last night he peeped through the window pane,
I declare I hardly knew him again!
I tried to sketch him for Nurse to see,
A jollier face there never could be.
His eyes were smiling at me like this,
And all because I threw him a kiss!
