Always JACK

Breast Cancer Foundation Month October
published by HarperCollins

Jack, his sister, Nanna, Mum, friends ... these great kids and people are part of your life.

Jack’s like YOU and life’s crazy sometimes, and funny, and terrific.

Jack loves banana cake (check out his cake*), jokes, surfing, inventing... and annoying his sister.

Then his Mum gets sick.

Getting cancer isn’t the end of everything, it can be all right if everyone pitches, supports each other.

Who pitches in?
Nanna with her wobbly teeth
Rob who's the best dish washer-er in the world
Samantha who loves dogs
Anna who I think, loves Jack?
Chris and his refugee Vietnamese parents
Leo with his surfing
Jack’s teacher, neighbours, school, kids

EVERYONE!

Jack's Banana Cake – Fixes Most Things

Excellent Banana Cake	Jack's Notes
125g soft butter 1/2 cup castor sugar 2 large eggs beaten 2 large mashed ripe bananas or 3 small ones 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour 1/2 teaspoon bi-carb soda pinch salt 1/4 cup milk 2 table spoons of mango yogurt	Don't melt it. Castor means super fine sugar Try eggs from the farm – free range Napolis' squishy bananas Grown-up flour. (Jack joke) Have a burp here. (Great Jack joke) Don't pinch too hard (Another great Jack joke) Mum likes low fat milk Your favourite yogurt is good if you don't like mango

How to Make the Cake

• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
• Beat in eggs a bit at a time into the sugary creamy butter
• Stir in half the flour, bi-carb soda and mashed bananas
• Fold in the rest of the flour, bi-carb and milk, making it smooth
• Spoon mixture into a greased 20cm x 10cm loaf tin or 20cm round cake tin.

Cook Banana Cake

• Bake at 180 C for about 40 minutes, or until cooked
• Cool cake for 5 minutes in tin before turning out.
