Editor's Note

'Blue skies smiling at me... Nothing but blue skies do I see...'! Summertime always means 'feel happy time' to me. Not that I don't enjoy the other seasons. Every season brings with it a different tune of nature. But the informal air of summer does spark a sense of boundless joy and enthusiasm within me and I take great pleasure in going for long nature walks with my camera being my best buddy.

A wonderful new article at Dot Com Women - Camping and Outdoor Activities -  will help you make the most of Summertime too!

RECIPES

Summer Pudding

The pudding may be prepared and weighted in advance, then frozen in its basin until it is required. Leave it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Ingredients:

100 gm. caster sugar
225 gm. blackcurrants or redcurrants, stalks removed
225g. ripe red plums, halved and stoned
1 strip of lemon rind
225 gm. strawberries hulled
225 gm. raspberries hulled
8-10 slices of day-old white bread, crusts removed

Serves 6

Method:

Put the sugar into a saucepan with 60 ml/4 tbsp. water. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the back or red currants, plums and lemon rind and poach until tender.

Add the strawberries and raspberries to the saucepan and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, remove the lemon rind.

Cut a circle from 1 slice of bread to fit the base of a 1.25 litre pudding basin. Line the base and sides of basin with bread, leaving no spaces. Pour in the stewed fruit, reserving about about 3-4 tbsp. of the juice in a jug. Top the stewed fruit filling with more bread slices. Cover with a plate or saucer that exactly fits inside the basin. Put a weight on top to press the pudding down firmly. Leave in a cool place for 5-8 hours, preferably overnight.

Turn out carefully on a plate or shallow dish to serve. If there are any places on the bread shell where the juice from the fruit filling has not penetrated, drizzle a little of the reserved fruit juice over. Serve with whipped cream or plain yoghurt.

CRAFTS

Heart Soap Dishes 

Materials:

Plastic coated gardening wire - thick
wire cutters
pencil
pliers

1: Cut a 35 length of wire and wrap it, at the halfway point, around a
pencil. Make a coil by twisting the pencil a couple of times.
2: Using a 6 1/2 inch piece of wire on each side of the coil, make a
heart shape. Finish by twisting the wire into a coil again.
3: Hook the wire ends together and join the ends by crimping them with
pliers. Make this loop into an even oval, which will form the rim of the
soap dish.
4: Cut four 5 1/2 inch lengths of wire. Hook over the outside of the
oval, making two crosses. Attach a shorter length across the center.

DCW TALENTS

This new section will see the works of talented Dot Com Women. We start with an inspiring piece from Nita McGrew.

SPIRIT

There is a phoenix rising in my heart
from the smoke and ashes
of what once was barely smoldering,
now burns with an extreme heat of passion.
She soars to heights that I thought
were unreachable,
She rises to the summit
of my being.
I feel her tiny beating heart within my own,
racing at a fevered pace,
fluttering and syncronizing
with my breath.
Quickened wings sending her on her ascent
into the innermost region of my spirit
And finally in that same fevered fury,
there is release
there is freedom
there is survival
there is resurrection
there is love.
