The Posh Lemon Top
Phew! Phlebotomy rotation done! It was actually not too bad in the end, I managed to successfully draw blood from a long list of patients, including some totally successful draws from hand veins! Wooo! I am quite happy however that I won’t really have to do it again… pretty much ever, as while I can […]
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…… […]
Chocolate and Cherry (Madeira) Cake
Last night saw the return of the Great British Bake Off! Hurrah! Double Entendre Bingo, Mel and Sue stealing ingredients, and lots and lots of eating! We celebrated in our house by watching it along with some cake, it was cake week after all, and also eating what Brian promised was going to be a […]
Book Review: My New Roots by Sarah Britton
I have a fairly large, and getting bigger, collection of books dedicated to natural and vegetarian cooking. Before selecting this book, I did a bit of research into what it would add to my library: Sarah Britton is the lady behind My New Roots, a blog, recipe site, and now book dedicated to what she calls “all-inclusive” […]
Lemon and Ginger Baked Doughnuts.
I was starting to worry that my brain was atrophying from lack of use. It’s been a month today since my last day at work, and since then I haven’t really done anything science related, and I worry that I will forget it all! Thankfully, as part of the welcome package our relocation agency gave […]
Great British Bake Off Week 5: Almond, Lemon, and Strawberry Traybake
Time to get back involved with the Bloggers Bake Off! As I made tuiles a couple of weeks ago, and don’t have any need to make a biscuit tower (I’m not sure that anyone does really), I decided to make a tray bake. At first I was thinking of a tray bake as one of […]
Bake Sale Bakes: Rhubarb and Apple Softies
Here is recipe number 2 from my bake sale goodies. I always try and make at least one vegan friendly thing when we have a bake sale, as one of my coworkers is vegan and so I like to make sure everyone can have some goodies… and of course donate to charity! So I made […]
Summertime Drinking: Rhubarb Cordial
I love a light refreshing drink on a summery day. Or, one of the few days of the year when the sun shines and the sky is blue and all is lovely in the world. Which does occasionally happen. Even in England. My all time favourite is Elderflower cordial, Mr M and I like to […]
Lemony Smoked Paprika Hummous
Work really gets in the way of my life. Well…. that, and that we went to Switzerland last weekend…………………….. ……………..and did some skiing, and for the first time in 3 visits…. I did not come back with an injury! Wooo! (previously I have hurt my shoulder, and then the next time we went I caught […]
Lemon and Almond Salambos
I had never heard of the Salambo. Apparently named after a literary character (by Gustave Flaubert), it is a choux pastry ball filled with pastry cream. In anticipation of Patisserie week, I used some of my day off to make (for the first time ever!) choux pastry, and decided to make a variation of one […]
