Something for a rainy day...

"and now it's time for a treat" (said in 1940's TV presenter style) 

We thought we would interrupt this rather rainy day with a little treat. 

Now that all that healthy stuff is over we think its defiantly time to enjoy something naughty. 

So here is a reward for being so fit & healthy during the games in the form of a retro recipe...

 "Never quit, be yourself and don't put too much flour in your brownies"
