Ant poison

We wage a never ending war with ants in our area. I use a home made ant poison which is much cheaper and every bit as effective as a bought one. Because its cheap I use it more regularly and liberally and our ant problem is better managed than it’s ever been.

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tbsp boric acid or borax

Dissolve the sugar and water in a small pan. Stir in the boric acid or borax and allow to cool. Decant into a jar and label clearly as ant poison.
Wash all utensils thoroughly.

Boric acid is made from borax. Both are used as mild insecticides.


 

Recipe

White Chocolate and Macadamia Brownie

whitechocbrownie

225g butter or margarine
220g good quality white chocolate – I use a whole tablet of Cadbury Dream
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1¼ tsp vanilla essence
2 cups plain flour
½ cup coarsely chopped raw macadamia nuts

Pre heat the oven to 180°


Line a Swiss roll or slice tin with non stick baking paper.
Melt  the butter in a medium saucepan over a low heat , when melted add  the sugar and stir well, then remove from heat and add the white chocolate, broken into pieces.  
Stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted, it may have a curdled appearance at this stage, don’t despair.
 Mix in the eggs one at a time and stir in the flour, vanilla and the chopped nuts. Pour into a well-greased and lined sponge roll or slice tin. Bake in a moderate oven at 180°C for 35 minutes.  
Cool and cut into 24 fingers. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
