The perfect girl's night out, Hormonal Housewives takes over Marine Hall stage this October!

The hit comedy show will be taking place at Marine Hall in Fleetwood on Saturday 19th October at 7.30pm. This show is hilarious and not to be missed starring Suzanne Shaw with Julie Coombe and Josephine Partridge.

'Hormonal Housewives' is a witty, topical three hander comedy sketch show co-written

by Scottish comedian and playwright Julie Coombe and her husband, playwright/director John MacIsaac, that will tour in the autumn following its smash hit UK spring tour. Hormonal Housewives performed at a mammoth 64 venues across the UK during April, May and June and smashed it out of the park, delighting packed houses everywhere. The mostly female audiences laughed 28

at the cast, with the cast, at themselves and with everyone else as the show blasted its way through a catalogue of popular women's bits: weight gain, weight loss, mood swings, housework, homework, electrolysis, men, sex, working out, internet dating, chocolate and gin.

Suzanne Shaw is a singer, actress, TV presenter and former popstar; her career has taken her from chart topping band Hear'Say to the West End as Roxie in Chicago to winning the third series of the ITV skating show Dancing On Ice. Suzanne's many West End credits include Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream coat, the Rocky Horror Show, Vagina Monologues, Cinderella, Aladdin, Snow White. Suzanne is also a regular TV presenter and panelist.

Suzanne comments: "I'm really looking forward to the tour of Hormonal Housewives." One of the many things that appealed to me about doing the show was being able to tailor my part to fit around my own real life stories... and I have many!"

Join the vivacious Hormonal Housewives in a hilarious, noholds-barred romp through the joys of being a fabulous 21st century woman!

Tickets are ÂŁ27 and can be booked by calling our box office on 01253 887693 or by visiting www.wyretheatres.co.uk For more information the show go to hormonalhousewives.com

LINK-Mag Recipe

Halloween tricky treats Halloween is the perfect time for creatively creepy cooking so pull on those oven gloves and put on a FANGtastic outfit to get into the spirit! and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat in.

Gently fold in the flour until it’s all combined and the mixture drops from the spoon with a slight tap.

Divide the mixture between the cake cases and bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes or until they’re golden and spring back when gently pressed on the top. Leave to cool.

When the cakes are cool, make the icing by combining the icing sugar with 2tbsp water to make a paste.

Halloween Cupcakes

Simple to make cakes that make a huge impact. A trick and a treat all rolled into one!

Serves: 12 Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 16 minutes You’ll Need: • 120g butter at room temperature • 120g sugar • 2 eggs, at room temperature • 120g self-raising flour • 250g icing sugar • Orange food colouring, a black gel icing tube, liquorice laces, strawberry laces, • 6 blackberries, 6 raspberries, 6 blueberries What to do: Heat the oven to 170C/ 150C fan and line a muffin tin with cake cases.

In a mixing bowl beat the butter

32

Divide the mixture into two bowls and colour one orange. Ice half the cakes in orange and half in white.

Use the black icing tube to draw concentric circles onto the orange iced cakes then, drag the point of a cocktail stick or skewer from the centre of the icing out to the edge.

Repeat all of the way around, like the spokes of a wheel, to create a web effect.

Add a blackberry as the spider in each web and create its legs with pieces of liquorice. Use a raspberry and blueberry together on the white iced cakes to make the head and body of a bug and again create red legs and antenna in the same way.

Cooks tip: If you’re short on time buy a pack of fairy cakes and decorate in the same way or ice a big spiders web onto a shop bought Victoria Sponge and cover in berry spiders..

Eyeball Jelly

This dessert may look gruesome, but the eyeballs are all sweet fruity bites.

Serves: 4 -6 Prep time: 20 minutes, plus setting time overnight You’ll Need: • 1 tin lychee in syrup • 1 pack BerryWorld blueberries • 1 pack raspberry jelly What to do: Drain the lychees.

Gently push 1 or 2 blueberries into each lychee.

Divide the blueberry-lychee eyeballs between your serving glasses.

Cut the jelly into cubes and place the cubes in a microwaveable jug, add 100ml water and heat for approx. 1 minute (based on a 750 Watt oven).

Stir until completely dissolved and then make the jelly mix up to 570ml (1pt) with cold water.

Pour the jelly mixture into the serving glasses over the blueberry-lychee eyeballs and refrigerate to set.

Graveyard Pudding

These ghoulish puddings are scarily good.

Makes: 4 Prep Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 5 mins You’ll need: • 300g BerryWorld blackberries • 200g chocolate, dark or milk to suit your taste • 2tbsp sugar, optional • 200ml double cream • 2 eggs, separated • 4 tombstone shaped biscuits (we used Nice biscuits) • 8 chocolate filled Oreos • 1tbsp desiccated coconut • Black gel icing tube • Green food colouring • Flower cake decorations 34

Method: Reserve 12 blackberries and mash the rest in a bowl with a fork. Set a fine sieve over a bowl, tip in the mashed berries, using the back of a spoon to push them through the sieve. Discard the remains in the sieve and set the puree aside.

Break the chocolate into a large bowl. If you use dark chocolate, add sugar at this point, it’s not so necessary if you use milk chocolate. Gently warm the cream until it’s steaming but do not let it boil.

Pour the warm cream over the chocolate and sugar and allow to melt, stirring occasionally until you have a smooth, silky liquid. Using a clean bowl and electric whisk, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.

Then whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate mix then the reserved blackberry puree.

blackberries between 4 glasses, cut them up if they’re large.

Spoon the chocolate mixture on top then refrigerate. To create the graveyard, use the icing tube to spell R.I.P. on each biscuit then put the Oreos in a zip-lock bag and bash with a rolling pin, smashing them so they look like soil.

In a bowl mash the coconut with a drip or two of green food colouring to make ‘grass’. Poke a biscuit gravestone into each mousse then surround it with a layer of chocolate soil. Scatter a little coconut grass and finish with a flower decoration.

Cook’s tip: If you can’t find chocolate filled Oreos to make your ‘soil’, use standard ones but scrape the white filling off before you crush them. www.berryworld.com

Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mix, continuing until there are no lumps of egg white remaining. Divide the reserved

Caring for your pet

I

t may seem early to be talking about fireworks, but there are over seven million* firework-phobic dogs and cats in the UK. If your pet reacts badly to the loud noises and flashes, then taking action now to get them fireworks ready could prevent misery and suffering in the next few months.

PDSA Vet Olivia Anderson-Nathan said: “Anyone who has had a pet that suffers from fireworks phobia will know how challenging it can be. Pets have very acute hearing and, for them, the loud bangs can be terrifying. They can shake with fear, they might go to the toilet in the house, destroy furniture, and could even injure themselves if they panic or run away.”

Olivia advises any owners with fireworkphobic pets to take action as early as possible. Here are her top tips:

• Buy a sound CD or stream them online,
