Pandemic Picks

More movies and series to stream while you are waiting for the theatre to open….

This time we are recommending the Canadian Broadcasting Company’s series, Slings and Arrows. This dark comedy series follows the fictional New Burbage Shakespeare Festival company. Each six-show season follows the off -stage lives of the company and on-stage development of one of Shakespeare’s plays (Hamlet – season 1, Macbeth – season 2 and Hamlet- season 3). A funny and all-too-true look at “Life Upon the Wicked Stage.”

You can watch it free on YouTube.

Broadway Bakin’

In the issue, we devote this space to the Brits! Our own SLT version of the Great English Bake-off. Ready...Set...Bake!

First off, Dame Judi Dench’s recipe for Rum and Chocolate Fudge. 

(We’ll let you figure out the metrics…)

Ingredients

---

• 550g caster sugar
• 550ml double cream
• 75g liquid glucose
• 5ml rum flavouring
• 150g milk chocolate flavour cake covering, melted

How to: 

Base line a 22cm square pan.

Put the sugar, double cream and the liquid glucose in a heavy-based large pan.

Heat slowly together, stirring continually, until all the sugar is melted. Once the sugar is melted bring slowly to a boil stirring very occasionally and gently just to make sure the mixture does not burn.

Boil gently (this may take about 20 minutes) until the mixture reaches a temperature of 118°C on a sugar thermometer or when the mixture forms a soft ball when a little is dropped from a teaspoon into cold water.

Turn off the heat and add the rum flavouring and milk chocolate beat really well until smooth. Pour into the prepared tin. Be very careful when pouring this, as it can be very hot.

Leave the fudge to set overnight in the fridge. Turn out and cut into squares.

And finally... because there’s nothing like a stiff martini to wash down fudge…

Cheers! To Your Very Good Health!
