Just to force some more disliked orange veg down the family’s collective throat. I’m on a winner with this one though, they all love it. The Bread Winner looked quite surprised when I told him what he was eating. Of course I didn’t tell him until after he told me that he was really enjoying […]
Admittedly it wasn’t such a hit with the Ankle Biters this time but my friend Cath and I were mightily impressed. I roasted the pumpkin the day before when I was cooking dinner which made them really quick and easy to whip up too. Budget too, perfect! Pumpkin, Walnut and Feta Scrolls adapted from Super […]
Last night’s cooking class has inspired me to force that old mojo back whether it likes it or not. I went back to work today which kind of interfered with that resolution as it really took the stuffing out of me. I decided though not to let it beat me, just to start of with […]
It really doesn’t take much to break the writing mojo does it? Since my recent computer meltdown, and consequent enforced break, I am struggling to get back to my happy writing place. So apologies for my slackness, I’m working on it. I’ll get there, please be patient with me. Anyway, that aside, I went to […]
Of course I always find pumpkin appetising but Son and Heir and the Bread Winner tend to disagree. Not tonight it seems. I fancied a bit of a Sunday roast tonight but didn’t feel like the whole meat thing. So I went with this little nut roast number which was a huge success. Great budget […]
Son and Heir is all about learning how the world works and how things are structured. Deviances from structure are looked upon with deep suspicion. Night is dark, day is light and pancakes are for breakfast. Well why have kids if you can’t mess with their heads? A girl’s got to have some fun. Pancakes […]
What more do you want? Snappy post titles? Still battling the brain funk but desperately trying to move my way through the massive pile of assorted papers that accumulated during the computerless days. Really, it was less than a week. How could such a large pile with such a broad variety of tasks gather so […]

You know I really don’t dig burgers. Certainly not from places you can actually drive through. Shudder. In fact, I have never had so much as a nibble of a big mac. Not even the frshly cooked fish and chip shop variety. In fact, not even a homemade version of the same. But I do […]
