Mmm, my kind of lunch

Cheddar cheese and Branston pickle toasted sandwiches for lunch. Just what was needed on a cold, cold day like today.

Yucky things

This is where I am to be found of an evening: out in the garden in the dark, searching for icky slugs by torchlight. I have some turnips out there kinda growing, but the slugs find their leaves to be delicious. They are also partial to my onions, many of which have resprouted, but some [...]

Square eyes

Here I am, drifting about as usual, not getting anything from my to-do list done. Only now I have an excuse to give myself: I need to spend less time in front of the screen. I’m suffering a bit of eye strain, which is giving me a headache between and around my eyes from time [...]

A day of rest

Lauren turned up this morning bearing birthday salutations and gifts. Gifts that required super-human strength to extricate them from the packaging, but which smelled very nice. I’m not sure what’s happened the rest of the day. With a bit of rain and wintery darkness outside I tend to switch off, even during the week, thinking [...]

Sometimes chocolate is required

I had a craving for Lauren’s Rocky Road and then Lori shared her recipe for Rocky Road cake, so it seemed meant to be. Time to melt some chocolate and stir in some marshmallows and chopped up brazil nuts. I decided to make a slab like Lauren did, so at the minute there’s a very [...]
