Smoky Spicy Cheddar and Asparagus Risotto
This week has been a busy one…. but an exciting one as it was finally time for Orientation, ready for me to start school again! The past few days have been full of meeting new people and filling out forms, learning new procedures……. I can’t wait to get started! Dinner wanted to be something fairly […]
Back to School
It’s true. I did not quit my job to be a unemployed slacker, there was a reason, and the reason is my return to school so I can re-qualify as a laboratory scientist in California! Yeah! I am very excited, but that is of course partly because I am a super nerd who loves school, […]
R2-D(ress)2 and My Wildly Inappropriate Everyday Dress
It was soooo… freaking hot this weekend. Last summer I mainly spent at work in an air-conditioned building, so didn’t require all that much of a summer wardrobe. This year… I quit, so have found myself feeling somewhat warm when I go out in the daytime. Short shorts and vest tops have been embraced, but […]
Crunchy Curried Egg Salad
The time has come where I need to start making my own food again, as I am no longer being fed for free three times a day, and needing some nice quick tasty lunches! I decided to try out a new book, which I had received from my brother for my birthday, written by the authors […]
Quick bags for Organisation.
Last weekend we went camping up at Union Valley Reservoir: Yup. It is kind of empty! Anyhow, camping of course involved the purchase of a proper grown-up tent (our previous tent we left behind in the UK as it was fit for nothing but muddy music festivals….. and only barely – it had a rip […]
Seedy Wholewheat Rolls
So yesterday was #GBBO day, and again my friend Brian came round to join us in watching it. Last week we ate Velveeta (not good, just really not good) and cake (delicious), and this week he decided that we should make Sloppy Joes. I did a quick search online and found some totally delicious sounding […]
Lemon and Peppermint Cordial
Yesterday, this happened……. Yep. That is a White Chocolate Dipped-Cookie Dough Stuffed-Oreo. One of Mr M’s friends from work had brought them in, and he brought them home for me to try. It was intense. Kinda sickly, yet delicious. However, because it is so sickly, it is difficult to eat more than one at once…… […]
#happy #sad
#happy #sad This represents a whole load of different things to me right now. For example…… last week I quit my job. This was in itself a happy thing, happy because it is part of the bigger picture and I now have one month off before I go back to school this fall, and also […]
Book Review: Einkorn by Carla Bartolucci
I thought this book might me a bit of a gimmick. An entire book based on one type of flour? Seriously? After reading the introduction, and hearing the author’s story of how she came to embrace using this grain, I can’t entirely discount it. I am lucky in that, as far as I am aware, […]
You there. You get a Gold Star!
This past couple weeks have been a bit of a blur. Hectic and busy, so much going on, but soon, very soon this will change. Work-wise I have been training another member of staff who has stepped into the breach to save us when we were in a bit of a bind. There was a […]
