A super duper quick birthday cake!
With it being my birthday yesterday, it left little time for baking…. But it’s the birthday of one of our good friends today….. and we were due to go for drinks at 8pm…. I don’t get home from work until 6pm…. I need to bribe people with cake to be my friends….. Ready, set, go! […]
The Sourdough adventure begins….
Woo! It was my birthday yesterday, and as such I got a whole lot of love from my friends, and some exciting gifts, including a recipe book, cheese grater, Jane Austen knitting magazines, a Kindle, and this bad boy: I have been wanting to do more bread making for a while, and as a Microbiologist, […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 3 – Ginger Wookies
Up until about a week ago, I had never seen Star Wars. I know. Mr M bought me these: …so as part of my birthday stuff for work i decided to make some Wookies. Cue attempts to sound like Chewbacca……and utter failure! Each time I take things into work I try to do some vegan […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 2 – Saffron Cake
About a month ago, my friend James brought in some Saffron cakes to work. He loves them, and on a trip back home to Plymouth had come over all overenthusiastic and bought 3, as they don’t generally sell them outside of Devon and Cornwall. He then realised that perhaps 3 was too many, and had […]
Rose Elliot’s Mediterranean Barley Risotto
I did mean to make this yesterday… but time sort of got away from me, and I was completing my Star Wars education by watching Return of the Jedi…. Yes, up until this last week (when I bought Mr M the complete saga on Bluray), I had never seen Star Wars…. This was a recipe […]
A little dress for a little lady
When we had the Jubilee party, Saffy (of the mouse) the daughter of one of our friends, arrived wearing a super cute and very appropriate union flag patterned dress over leggings and a top. It was cute, and you could tell the crafters amongst us as our reaction was to try and figure out how […]
Number 100.
I realised something this morning… but more of that later. Another thing I realised is that it’s almost my birthday, and I still haven’t used one of my birthday presents from last year! Look at it… taunting me by still being in it’s wrapper! At first I was freaked out about having to grease and […]
Mrs M’s Birthday Treats: take 1 – Chocolate and Raspberry Butterfly Cakes.
It’s my birthday next week, and as is customary, I must provide cakes for everyone at work…. However, currently I work across 3 sites… 3 lots of people…. 3 lots of cake. For the first lot of cakes, which I took into work with me today, I made vegan gingerbread men (post to follow), vegan […]
Apron making workshop with Ros Marshall
So, I’ve made aprons before, as anyone who has been to my house is well aware….. I have many. Some I have made, some I have bought, some are souvenirs, but I love them all. So when my friend Zoe offered me a spot on an apron making workshop that she had won in a […]
You are my Sunshine.
This is another CrossStitcher Magazine project, I loved it as soon as I saw it in the June issue. I didn’t want to make it into a bag though, it seemed like a bit of a waste of something so bright and fun. I couldn’t resist it though, so thought I would do it and […]
