I know I said I would work on a bit of a sewing project on Saturday… but the post arrived and with it some fabric for a cross stitch project that I had planned to make from this month’s edition of CrossStitcher. With it estimated to take 65 hours to stitch…. I thought I had […]
I had the afternoon off today after a very long (super duper long and stressful) day at work yesterday. So after indulging in a spot of Christmas Present purchasing, along with some crafting supplies…… I baked. I started off another little sourdough recipe from Paul Hollywood’s book, but then I decided to make one of […]
There’s a guy at work. Our IT guy. I made Custard Tarts once, and brought them into work. They were a big hit. They now are my go-to thing to make for bribery. Last week however, he fixed one of my IT related problems, before I even nagged him the second time (and before he […]
Earlier this week I saw a link to this recipe on Facebook. Ummmm… yum? I had, a long while ago, contemplated to myself about making a dessert pizza, but never taken the plunge. Time was ripe…. and no better time in fact, than Friday evening after a long week at work, to indulge yourself in […]
I have been lucky this week.

Pie, Mash, Minted Peas, […]

This weekend we’re paying a visit to Mama and Papa M, and feeling a bit sub-par and lazy, it is half 4 in the afternoon and I am still in my pyjamas. Hey ho. It’s Saturday, and I’m not working, so I will have a pyjama day if I like. I have however been reading, […]
Great British Bake Off Final! The excitement! Time to find out who won, who dropped their cake, and whether the trophy could top last year’s for sheer horrific-ness. (it didn’t, it seemed to be kind of disappointingly ordinary, just a glass cake stand) I thought I would actually cook something rather than just grazing though, […]
Whether you call it Lemon Cheese or Lemon Curd I think really boils down to preference. I usually refer to that stuff you buy in the supermarket as Lemon Curd, the homemade high quality stuff is Lemon Cheese, in my family anyway, and I love it! I spent the morning at work, not very exciting. […]
