Lockdown Rolo Cookie Buns

Lockdown Cookie Rolo Buns baked by my daughter.


ImageThey were fantastic! :)

Really easy to make and ideal for those with a sweet tooth and not worried about diet, weight or going into hyperglycaemic shock


INGREDIENTS (makes 7)

250g plain flour
125g butter
1 egg
100g sugar (I think we used ordinary granulated sugar)
5g baking powder
100g chocolate chips (we cut up a Bourneville bar into small peices)
2 packs of Rolos.

METHOD

1. Put flour, egg, sugar, butter and baking powder powder into a mixing bowl and mix well into a dough. It is best to do this step using your hands as you can rub the flour into the butter to mix well.
I have not took a photo of this step because as you can imagine my
fingers were as greasy as a teenager's face and I didn't want to gunk my phone up. Also, we used a shoebox to do the mixing as all the mixing bowls were in the dishwasher.

2. Once you have a nice dough, add the chocolate chips and mix well. It should look and smell fantastic.
You have just made a basic cookie dough. Well done.

3. Take off about a third of the dough and leave to the side. This will be used to make the lids.

4. Roll out the bigger amount of dough on a lightly floured kitchen top, floor, table or anywhere flat with a rolling pin or one of your empty wine bottles if you don't have a rolling pin. Get a nice thickness as if you were making mince pies.
5. Using a cookie cutter, cut out a circle and place them in paper bun thingies. Cake wrappers? The name has escaped me. They should then go in a bun tray.
We originally put the cookie dough straight into a metal bun tray but transferred each to a paper bun case before baking.
6. Place 2-3 Rolos in each cookie dough case. Yes, you're making little pies using cookie dough as the pastry! How fantastic is that?!? :)

7. Roll out the dough you put to the side and using your cookie cutter cut out lids for the "pies". These are like REAL pies, with a pastry bottom instead of a disappointing pie you order from a pub which consists of only a filling and pastry lid set in some kind of ceramic pot.

8. Bake in the top of an oven at gas mark 3 (325°F, 150 fan apparently) for 20 minutes.
They should come out like the top picture. You can test by using a cake skewer, a potato skewer or something else if you really want to. Don't use your finger or tongue, that would be silly.

9. Serve with ice cream and strawberries while still warm. Heaven! :)
I didn't show a photo of the insides as I wasn't making an advert or a guide, instead I just stuffed my fat greedy face.

Then had another one.

Enjoy!

Dissecting WannaCry

Below is  brief overview of the inner workings of WannaCry. It is by no means a complete indepth account of what it does, but the inquisitive will learn a little bit without touching any code debuggers. Enjoy the read! gerbil (follow me on Twitter: @gerbil ) Dissecting WannaCry Hi guys. Before I continue to bore you to death, just a few points: Firstly, before you read this page thinking you're going to unlock the mysteries of the world or even find the arc of the covenant, that isn't going to happen. This page is basically a reformatted version of a text dump, i.e. a few of my notes that I took when I examined WannaCry. And I'm not prepared to write an indepth, detailed account with them notes. So, that means it contains holes, either because I've missed it, didn't think it relevant (at the time), or because I was too lazy to include it, which is probably the main reason. I am only human after all! Cynics will probably read this document and ...

Published Article in 2600 Magazine: Take Your Work Home After Work

Below is one of the first articles that I had published. It appeared in the Winter 2014 issue of 2600 Magazine, an awesome magazine that publishes awesome things. The idea behind the article was to provide an insight into mixing encrypted data into a normal .jpg image and pushing it through a firewall. Enjoy the read! gerbil (follow me on Twitter: @gerbil ) Taking Your Work Home After Work. GerbilByte, 2014 So there I was. I was drafted in to work for a small company (who shall remain nameless, but for this article we will call the company Bumble Bee Internet Security Services) for several months. At the end, as well as a juicy pay-check, I realised that I had written a load of little scripts that I wanted to keep. I zipped up my folder of goodies to email to myself and encrypted it for obvious reasons then attached it to an internal email to send it. DENIED! Bumble Bee Internet Security Services (BBISS from now on) was a company whose email sys...

Gerbtris : Coding Tetris in Bash

Coding Tetris in Bash Hi peeps. So you've come here because you've shown some interest in coding Tetris in bash. Goodness knows why, but we'll get straight on it. Firstly though, let me just say that this is MY implementation of the game. I'm aware that the implementations and methods used could probably be enhanced or improved, but they were used as they were the first solution I concocted for the puzzle at hand, and I had a limit of about fie hours (two motorway journeys) to get this coded from start to finish. Lets get into it. To break down what I needed for the very basic model (which ended up roughly 300 lines) I needed to write functions for the following: shape painter - a routine is needed to paint the shape at any point on the screen shape rotation - a routine is needed to rotate the shape shape collision - the shapes have to be "stackable" and not cross over any other shapes or the walls of the playing field shape mover - the user has ...
