Baking has become one of the nations biggest boredom  breakers to fill the days in lockdown.

 

One of my favorite recipes I have done so far is Millionaire shortbread and below I will share my simple recipe.

Hope you enjoy :)

 

120g of crushed digestive biscuits mixed with 100g of melted butter. Pack tightly into a square bowl and leave to set in fridge for 20 mins.

Melt 70 g of butter and 120g of sugar slowly in a pot till its turning brown, then add 1 tin of condensed milk, stir and bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins. It will turn a caramel colour and thicken a little. Allowed to cool for 10 mins then pour it on top of biscuit base. Leave for about 10 mins.

Melt 200g of milk chocolate and put on top of Carmel and break 2 flakes on top or try any toppings you fancy

In this case it was “remember ...

I have blogged about mouth cancer before. We had mouth cancer screening days in the practice, there was a national mouth cancer awareness day.

It’s not one of the more famous ones, there isn’t a national campaign where we wear a ribbon or a flower or have a coffee morning at work for it, but it’s certainly there in the background messing around with people’s lives. Before I was an orthodontist I used to work at the junior levels of various oral surgery departments around Northern Ireland and England and saw many patients receive treatment for it. Those patients were referred to us from one source ...

Orthodontics and Mouth Cancer 2025 Part 1...Examinations

It’s a given fact among orthodontists that every child should have an orthodontic examination by the age of 7. This is to look for healthy development of teeth, their positions in the developing mouth and the way they relate to each other. Some problems might be obvious  but some are lurking unseen by parents - and the kids themselves - and require someone with an appropriate mix of experience and knowledge to detect or investigate.

Why bother so young?

The idea is that if you detect certain problems there are simple interventions (we’d call that interceptive orthodontic treatment) that might avoid a more serious problem developing, one ...
