The Weekend - Day 82- Tuesday 7th August

Day 82- Tuesday 7th August
I was in Denver USA last month and was getting to see for myself of the hot temperatures and read in the local paper - The Rocky Mountain News how best to survive the heat.
Drink more fluids - especially water. Regardless of your activity level and do not wait until you get thirsty.
Do Not Drink Alcohol, or sugary drinks, these cause you to loose body fluids.
Stay Indoors and if possible stay in an air conditioned place
Take a cool shower or bath
Wear Lightweight, light colored loose fitting clothing.
Heat stroke is when the bodies’ temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails and the body is unable to cool down. Warning signs are, high body temperature (above 103 degrees) red hot dry skin, rapid and strong pulse and a throbbing headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, unconsciousness. What to do - cool the victim by moving him to shade, placing him in a cool shower, spray with garden hose, and do not give the victim fluids. So beware this summer, mind you while it may be hot in the USA and the Med in Europe we are not getting much of a summer here in the UK.
Remember that as part of my project I intend to raise funds for Find Your Feet who provide fresh drinking water in developing countries, so please support me and allow you and your business website to benefit from my project internet site and the future TV Production being made about my project.

Day 81 - Monday 6th August
As you may know I love cooking, and if you log onto Google and type in “Millioneurosin90days” you will see being filmed in Newport High Street, cooking in front of shoppers, various dishes, all made from many Fairtrade Products.
Well here is an idea I got from a magazine recently which I have tried and is really good. Coffee Cream Bread & Butter Pudding. You need 1/4pt milk, 3/4 pint of fresh double cream, 1 shot of espresso Fairtrade Coffee, 1 Fairtrade Vanilla Pod, 2 Eggs, 5 Yolks, 2oz Unrefined Fairtrade Granulated Sugar, 6 x 1 day old croissants, 4oz unsalted butter, 6oz of Fairtrade raisins. Put the milk, double cream, coffee and vanila pod into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Whisk the eggs, yolks and granulated sugar together. Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. Use 1oz of butter to grease an over proof dish. Using the remaining butter spread this on the cut slices of the croissants. Lay half of them down on the base of the dish, butter side up. Sprinkle with raisins and lay the remaining croissants on top. Let the boiled cream cool a little and pour it on to the egg mixture stirring all the time. Put it back on the heat and stir until it starts to thicken and then take of the heat. Strain half of the cream mixture over the croissants and allow to soak for 15 mins, gradually straining over the rest of the mixture until all is in the dish. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180oC/350oF. Cook in a bain marie until set. Take out and allow to cool for 10 mins. Pipe a line of whipped cream up the middle of the pudding, sprinkle the grated chocolate over the cream and dust the whole thing with sugar and serve.

The Weekend
Here we are, Its Saturday, and I am at my Caffe-Society Fairtrade Store. It’s the start of the World Famous Yachting Event called Cowes Week. For the next 10 days the whole Island becomes the mecca of the International Sailing scene, especially at Cowes a small town 3 miles north of my Caffe-Society Fairtrade Store. I will be there next week promoting my project, photos to follow. I do prefer sailing to motor yachts, and they are more environmentally friendly so this event is very much a “Green” sport in many ways.
