With lockdown Level 2 in place, the kids and grandkids are sure to visit more. Here’s a quick and easy pudding recipe to spoil them, and yourselves with. The warmer weather is here and nothing screams ‘springtime’ more than this three-ingredient cheesecake. It’s super simple…here’s how you make it. Ingredients: • 1 litre plain double cream yoghurt • 1 tin condensed milk • 200g digestive biscuits, crushed Method: • Press the crushed biscuits into an even layer at the bottom of a deep microwave-safe dish. • Mix the condensed milk and the yoghurt together and carefully pour the mixture over the biscuit base. Smooth the top, then microwave on high for about five to six minutes, or until set. • Refrigerate until cool, then slice to serve. If you like, you can serve your cheesecake with more biscuit crumbs on top, like the picture, or top with your favourite fresh fruit. It’s that simple…enjoy!
BE SAFE … ALWAYS!
When you plan to go out, even if it is just for a short walk, tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. If you are going to the shops, never let your handbag dangle from its straps; keep it tucked tightly under your arm. If you are only taking along your purse or wallet, either carry it in the front pocket of your trousers or in an inside jacket pocket. While shopping, never leave your handbag or anything of value, like a cell phone, unattended or in the trolley. Unfortunately during these times, criminals look out for vulnerable targets and sometimes target older people.
Beware of con artists
Be suspicious of anyone who tries to rush you into signing any kind of contractual agreement. Tell them that you want some time to read through the paperwork. Go through it very carefully or ask the assistance of a trusted family member, friend or adviser. Never give your personal details – including your credit card, identity or banking information – to anyone who randomly calls and asks for it. If you want reassurance, ask them for their details and verify those for yourself. Call them only once you are happy that the initial request was legitimate.
