Instructions to make Tex's Treacle (Bonfire Night) Toffee 🔥🍬🇬🇧:
- Line the base and sides of an A4 (11 x 8") size oven tray with baking paper and then grease it really well
- Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. Don't stir, but tilt the pan if you need to move it around
- Mix all the other ingredients in a greased jug, to make it easier to pour out the treacle & syrup. Add to the saucepan. Pop a sugar thermometer in, and give the mix a swirl, but stir as little as possible
- Bring to the boil and continue heating until it reaches the soft crack point for toffee (140°C/270°F). This may take up to 30 minutes, so be patient. Don't leave the pan unattended though, as the temperature can change quickly
- As soon as it reaches temperature, remove from the heat and pour in to the greased tray
- Add hot water to your saucepan and bring to the boil with the thermometer still in. This will make it easier to clean while the toffee cools
- Allow the sheet of toffee to cool and harden, then remove from the tray. Wrap in cling film, baking paper, or cover with a tea towel to prevent flying shards
- Place on a firm, hard, surface and break into eating-size pieces with a hammer or rolling pin. Store in cellophane bags, or an airtight tin, till November 5th 🔥🎆
- Now grab your toffee and celebrate the capture of Catholic terrorist Guy Fawkes in the tunnels beneath Parliament with 60 barrels of gunpowder on November 5th 1605. Fawkes had been the explosives expert in a plot by Catholic conspirators to overthrow the British Parliament and kill King James I
- Fawkes was hung, drawn, and quartered, and then the pieces burned on a bonfire. To this day, his effigy is traditionally burned on a bonfire, usually accompanied by a fireworks display
Foods That Can Make You Happy
In general, people have been trained to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. At times, if your comfort food is basically candy or other junk foods, this holds true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be completely healthy and it’s good for you to eat them. There are several foods that, when you eat them, can improve your mood. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out a couple of these.
Eggs, you might be surprised to find out, are fantastic at fighting depression. Just be sure that you don’t toss out the egg yolk. Whenever you want to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the egg yolks in particular, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to improve your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–function better. Eat a few eggs to feel better!
Build a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etc are all great for helping to boost your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel at all times. The higher your serotonin levels, the more pleasant you will feel. Nuts, in addition to raising your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are good if you want to feel better. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all full of omega-3s and DHA. These are two things that truly help the grey matter in your brain work a lot better. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can really help you fight back depression.
It’s easy to overcome your bad mood when you eat grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually great for helping raise your happiness levels. They help you feel full as well which can truly help to improve your mood. It’s not hard to feel low when you are starving! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy for your stomach to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps bring up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, elevates your mood.
Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is packed full of an amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps raise your mental focus while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you know that green tea can elevate your mood as well!
As you can see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you wish to feel better! Try a few of these instead!
