You know when something gets stuck in your head and won’t go away? Like a really annoying song that just goes round and round and you CANNOT stop thinking about it for a few days until thankfully it eventually goes away? Or perhaps a particular idea or concept. Or something that you just HAVE to [...]
Have you ever gotten to the point where you don’t think you have the capacity either physically or mentally to take on one more thing? I was pretty much at that point a few weeks ago. Work, kids, life… ack! But but but but… we now have about a month to slow down and just [...]
The boy turned 8 on the weekend. Eight. Not 7 any more, and 6 seems like it was decades ago. He’s definitely no longer a baby, or a toddler, or a little boy even. Nope, he’s 8, which is really just thisclose to 10. Scary. I always have mummy moments around my kids’ birthdays – [...]
First off today I want to tell you about this great “allotment meal” we had the other night. Artichokes, beets, and lamb & mint burgers to make up the protein component. Ok, we don’t raise sheep on our allotment (that’s not allowed although apparently there was once a guy who tried keeping a goat there), but the veg [...]
I’m going to start off today by saying how cool it was to meet a bunch of fellow food bloggers this past Sunday in London. The Food Bloggers Connect event was held in London from 4-6 June. I was only able to attend on the Sunday, but it was well worth going even for the [...]
I’ve got brownies on the brain. At work we make a lot of brownies, and this week we’ve gone into a bit of brownie overdrive. There could be worse things I suppose – I’d much rather make hundreds of brownies than hundreds of tuna mayonnaise sandwiches, for example (but that may be because I can’t [...]
The last 24 hours have been a complete emotional roller coaster, food-wise. It all started on Thursday (ok, more like 48 hours ago) with a phone call. It was from a friend that I’d made a number of cakes for, asking if I could do one for Saturday midday. She wanted one sort of like [...]
Yesterday I had a day at home consolidating menus and trawling cookbooks for new ideas. I also had a bit of a play with some sweet treats. I made some nice orange and almond biscuits – crisp little bites laced with homemade candied orange peel that are just perfect with a cup of tea. I’m [...]
I have just make a cake filling that is to die for. I’m making a hazelnut torte for a friend’s birthday next week, but thought a prototype would be useful (and also give me a dessert to take tomorrow night when we have dinner with friends)! Anyway, the cake is a flourless hazelnut cake. The [...]
