Baking during the Coronavirus

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

About 1/3 of my patients are adults.

Ten Years After

Had a patient today who come back for new retainers 10 years after the end of her treatment.

Her lower retainer was cracked but otherwise both upper and lower were in remarkably good condition.

The alignment of her teeth had maintained nicely, I was delighted with this and it would be great if we could get some photos to show

the alignment before treatment,
just after treatment finished and
10 years after treatment finished.

So we’ll make her new retainers. We have a scanner here, so there was no moulding of her teeth needed to make the retainers, and we’ll fit them soon.

The thing is… her teeth were so straight, and ...

Did you ever meet Glen Hansard?

I was sad to hear about Glen Hansard’s death a couple of weeks ago. I saw The Frames a surprising number of times for someone who never went to see The Frames. They seemed to be on so many bills that I found myself at but I wasn’t really a ...
