Pizza, Chocolate lollies and Tarte au citron

Hi to all,
I am a bit late this week due to not feeling great. I've caught my son's virus. Poor Frankie had it last week and was coughing with a high temperature. I gave him some paracetamol on Saturday and left the bottle on the side where George got hold of it. He managed to drink some without us knowing so we were rushing to the hospital at 6.30pm. George and I waited there while Daddy took Frankie home and put him to bed. Daddy then came back to the hospital and  Nanny stayed to look after Frankie. We had to wait four hours until they could do a blood test for poor George and see how much he swallowed. The nurse said the cap was really easy to get off and asked George if he could do it again but he was a bit shy. He was really good and very hyper until it came to the blood test which he hated. I had to hold and cuddle him while they did it. He just kept shouting for Frankie bless him. After about five hours of running around the ward George finally crashed on the floor. I moved him the bed but he only got fifteen minutes before almost falling out of bed which woke him up. We began walking around the ward again when the doctor told us his results were back and they were fine. We could go home! So at one in the morning we rang Daddy and asked him to come and get us. (I had sent him home after the blood test to get some sleep.)
After such a long night both the kids ended up falling asleep on Grandma's sofa the next day. They were both shattered bless them!
Anyway that was the story of our weekend but now to the baking part! So during the week we made the pizzas. Normally I would do the same as my mum and make shortcrust pastry and just top it with tomato puree and what ever else was in the fridge/cupboards. However this time I followed and recipe from Tiff's Great British Bake Off cookbook. I don't know what I'll do when she gets back. I'll have to buy myself a copy because I use that book all the time. Anyway I started to make the recipe but didn't realise it was for four pizzas! I left a quarter on the mix in the fridge to have the next day and made three pizzas for me and the boys. They were simply ham and cheese but were lovely. I didn't realise they were going to puff up quite so much but I don't think I had rolled them out enough. On the second day though I tried to roll it out more and make it bigger. It was much nicer because it seemed like there was less dough.
Next we made Chocolate lollies which was just galaxy chocolate melted and piped into circles. As always when I'm melting chocolate I can never seem to melt all of it properly and when I put it into a piping bag the unmelted pieces get stuck in the nozzle. Still I manged to make about 14 lollies which was great practise for easter. I have a lot of Nephews and a Neice as well as my own children to buy for so I thought I'd make lollies with their names on that way it's something special and a bit cheaper.
Lastly on Sunday morning and still half asleep I manged to make my tarte au citron which is my mum's favourite dish that I make. It is another one from the Great British Bake Off cookbook and it taste amazing. It is creamy but with a lot of flavour. It was not my best attempt as the bottom creaked and the zest wasn't fine enough but it still tasted nice.

I would also like to mention my sister's yummy bake, during the week she (and Freya) made brownies with cherries and brought them over on Sunday. They were scummy! I had forgotten they contained so when I bit into one I was pleasantly surprised. Lovely.
Well it's taken me nearly all week to write this but that's enough for now. I'll write aagin next week
