Ingredients:
Oil for Greasing
225 grams dark plain chocolate
150 grams caster sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon instant coffee
4 ½ tablespoons water
Icing sugar
300 ml double cream

Recipe:
1. Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Cut a sheet of greaseproof paper big enough to line and stand above the rim of the tin. Fold the paper to fit the corners, fit it into the tin and grease very lightly with oil.
2. Separate the eggs. Yolks in one large bowl and whites in another.
3. Tip the caster sugar in with the yolks. Whisk together till light and pale using an electric or hand whisk.
4. Break the chocolate into a heavy bottomed pan. Add water and coffee granules.
5. Put pan on a very low heat and stir gently till creamy and melted.
6. Fold the melted chocolate into the mousse.
7. Whisk the egg whites till well frothy and almost stiff. Fold gently into the chocolate mix.
8. Pour the mis into the tin. Cook for 12-14 minutes – roulade should look browned and may be cracked on top. Leave to cool once finished cooking.
9. Whisk the double cream till softly firm. Smooth it over the roulade.
10. Lift the short end and roll it up away from you. Peel off the baking paper as you roll and lift onto a plate once rolled.
11. Sprinkle with sifted icing sugar.A.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
