There is something for in here for everybody whether you want something fairly simple to do with our Prime Minister Wordsearch at the back (please don't use it as a dart board) or something to really sink your teeth into on a lazy day like the codewords at the front of the book.

If you consider your self as a professional problem solver then maybe try and sink your teeth in to the Zebra Puzzle.

They're starting to get tougher every month so make sure you keep up!

Vegan Ginger Shirini 250g plain flour, 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ginger powder, 120g vegan butter (I use Flora 100% vegan), 120g organic molasses (I use Meridian organic molasses), 20g hot water 100g dark brown sugar, granulated sugar to sprinkle on top

Method

atiyeh@chocotiyeh.co.uk www.chocotiyeh.co.uk

20 Min Prep 15 Min Cook

1

Preheat the oven to 160°c. Cover a large baking tray with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients and mix.

2

In an electric mixing bowl add the vegan butter (you can use soft unsalted butter for non vegan) and brown sugar. Using the pedal attachment beat until creamy. Add the molasses and the hot water and mix for 2 minutes. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.

3

Scoop the batter, using two teaspoons onto the prepared tray, (you can use a piping bag with a large nozzle) leaving space between each shirini, then sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 14 -17 minutes depending on the size of your scoops. Leave to cool for about 15 minutes then serve.

RHUBARB RHUBARB Rhubarb is a reasonably easy trouble-free plant to grow. It is also a handsome plant, with large leaves and striking red stems, and who doesn't love a rhubarb crumble?

The trick is to choose the right spot. Ideally it needs to be planted in full sun but if your garden is very sheltered it will tolerate partial shade. Don't plant it anywhere where it might be in the way, disturbed, or need to be moved from. Rhubarb has an extensive root system and prefers to stay put, for at least a decade, so give careful thought to the spot.

Rhubarb dislikes wet soil, so make sure it's welldrained. Dig in plenty of organic matter a month or so before planting. It’s generally easier and more productive to grow rhubarb from crowns (divided plants) rather than seed, and from now until Christmas is the perfect time to plant.

Dig a hole a little wider than the rhubarb crown in your prepared ground. Plant so that the growing tip is about an inch /2.5 cm below the surface.

Firm the soil well around the roots to removed air pockets. Water well and mulch with organic matter, avoiding the growing tip.

During the growing season keep the area around the plant free of weeds and give an occasional good soaking in prolonged dry periods. Remove any flower heads that appear in the spring.

Flowering will weaken the stems. If the crown rots, your soil was too wet, but following all the advice I've given earlier should prevent this happening! Harvest time is May until July, but rhubarb is a long-term investment so don't harvest it during the first year. It needs that full first year of growth to establish a strong root system. Second year leave at least five strong stems when you harvest. After that you can leave three or four stems each time. You should get 2-3 crops per season.

Remove only the largest stems when picking and wait till the leaves have fully opened. Pull gently from the base with a slight twist. The leaves are poisonous but can be safely composted.

Once your rhubarb is established you might want to try a forced crop for sweeter more tender stems. Rhubarb is forced by growing it in the absence of light in a microclimate slightly warmer than the outside temperature. You can start forcing in January for best results. Remove dead leaves and weeds from around the crown and add a layer of straw or shredded paper to warm the emerging shoots and to protect them from frost. Then cover the crown with an upturned dustbin or large crock pot to cut out all the light. The rhubarb should be ready for harvesting 8 weeks later.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM Why do we wear a poppy? Scarlet poppies grow wild all over Western Europe wherever the soil has been disturbed. The battles of the First World War churned up such vast areas of earth that millions of poppies germinated and bloomed, often around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

A Canadian surgeon called John McRae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields in which the poppies symbolise the deaths of those who fought. It is a haunting memorial to those soldiers who have died in any war.

Why do we have a two-minute silence? It was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that the guns of World War I fell silent. Four years of fighting and devastation finally ended. The following year ceremonies of remembrance took place on what was known as Armistice Day. An Australian journalist, Edward George Honey first proposed a respectful silence to remember the dead. He wrote a letter to the London Evening News which was brought to the attention of King George V. The king then issued a proclamation which called for a twominute silence.

These days Armistice Day is known as Remembrance Sunday and is a chance to honour the fallen soldiers of all conflicts.
