Today we recapped on last week, two words, SA Trivia question, tips etc. We also posting all the Golden Cloud recipes we ‘baked up’ since last week Friday saw the end of the show.
WORD OF THE DAY
chasm [kaz-zum]
1. a very deep crack in the ground
2. a wide difference in interests or feelings
Albeit
Even though; although; notwithstanding
Eg. Her speech was impressive, albeit rather short.The lesson was interesting, albeit difficult.
SA TRIVIA QUESTION
In what year did South Africa become a republic?
A – 1961 B – 1800 or C – 1994
Answer: A – 1961
On 31 May South Africa became a republic, with her membership of the Commonwealth simultaneously expiring. The choice of this particular day was no accident. The date of Republic day (31 May) coincided with the end of the South African War in 1902, the date of the Union of South Africa in 1910 and the date when the South African flag had first been flown in 1928.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Help Your Spouse Through a Layoff
1. Step 1
Be supportive. Everyone reacts differently to losing a job. Your spouse may have been fired due to poor performance, or the company had to downsize. There will be some emotions associated with the layoff--but not everyone wants to discuss it. If your spouse doesn't want to talk, don't force it. Let your spouse know that you're on his/her side, and you will help however you can. Some spouses want too much help though, so you'll need to set boundaries ahead to let him/her know that you're here, but you can only do so much.
2. Step 2
Express your needs. While your spouse may clam up, let him/her know that it’s OK if they don't want to talk, but do say what you need. If you expect them to pick up around the house more, ask that your spouse do that. Think about what you need from your spouse, whether it’s taking over laundry duty, handling the kids’ transportation or simply giving you more time to yourself. Do you want to spend more time with your spouse? Let him/her know that. Some spouses may need rules, depending on whether or not they tend to get lazy or complain about the situation a lot. Put everything you need on the table in a loving way and work on compromises.
3. Step 3
Determine your spouse’s needs. The best way to do this is to ask, “What do you need from me?” Men have a tendency to not want to be reminded of things repeatedly. Women may want their spouses to ensure time is spent with children even though they serve as primary caretaker. It’s important to state your needs and gently ask your partner how you can make this easy on the both of you.
4. Step 4
Go over your finances together. Express to your spouse that you will need to go over finances, since a layoff can minimize income. This is a smart idea because you’ll need to work together to get through the hard times--and by asking nicely and showing your spouse that this will benefit him/her, too--you can feel more secure.
5. Step 5
Remember, it’s only temporary. Most spouses will return to work not only for their own well-being, but because they know you probably rely on their income or benefits. Surviving a layoff can be tough, but hard times are only temporary. The best thing you can do in this situation is be gentle with your partner and act like a partner, giving support at the same time.

30 ml cocoa
1. Grease an oven baking tray with margarine or spray with non stick cooking spray. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C once the biscuits have been made and chilled.
2. Halve the cookie mix and butter or margarine and water and prepare ½ of the plain mixture first as explained on the pack. Add the cocoa to the second quantity of cookie mix and prepare the dark chocolate mixture in the same way.
3. Shape the dough into small balls (walnut size). Roll each ball into a little rope about 5 cm in length. Twist and roll the two colours together carefully, pinch the ends together gently to seal and place slightly apart onto baking trays.
4. Bake about 10 minutes or until firm and very lightly browned. Cool a few minutes, lift onto cooling racks and cool completely. Store in airtight containers up to a month.
Yields About 30 biscuits, depending on size
