followed by Apple lattice pie and homemade custard for us this evening, all shovelled in while watching Strictly with a couple of glasses of pink fizz.
And you??...
We saw a recipe for these online and decided they would be quick and easy to make as it called for ready rolled bought puff pastry. Two hours and a thoroughly messy kitchen later, yes, they’re very...
This time last year we had no babies or children in the family. This Christmas we have THREE babies, all of whom will be staying with us, with their parents and a rogue grannie in law, over the...
And sprouts for dinner tonight, followed by a Costco individual fresh cream Victoria sandwich cake.
Anything interesting on your plate this evening?...
The cocktail... Spicy rum (Oakheart being my choice, other rums are available) Juice of half a lime (Lime cordial will do at a push) Ginger beer (preferably Crabbies alcoholic but any will make a very...
Do you tend to have a drink on a Saturday night even if you don’t the rest of the week? Or doesn’t it make any difference to you that it’s saturday? We’ve just had a Dark & Stormy each, and...

We had a ‘proper’ pressure cooker years and years ago, which we used quite a lot, but binned it quite a long time ago. Yesterday, out for lunch with the neighbours, one of them said they have an...
We’ve just had fish fingers, peas and a box of very thin fries for our evening meal. It was very nice and very easy to cook and eat. I just thought I’d share that with those who are interested,...

Will be eating Italian tomorrow evening, a family owned, well respected and reviewed restaurant.
What would be your choice of starter and main course at somewhere like that?...
Does anyone else watch this?
