I don’t want you to think that I am a habitual sickie, but today I am at home with a dodgy tummy. It all started on Saturday night. I felt really tired all of a sudden at about 10:30 pm (I’m so rock’n’roll on the weekends) and went off to bed. My hubby decided to… Continue reading Under The Weather…

MCFlyingspatula Mixing It Up In Da House…
I know, it’s been a while. But I’ve been really busy (honest) and therefore not had time to share my thoughts with the blogosphere. Still I’m back now and I do have a story to tell… First a good news update – me and my sourdough pet have been making beautiful dough-related things happen. In… Continue reading MCFlyingspatula Mixing It Up In Da House…
Saturday Night Feeder…
Actually my story starts on Saturday morning with a visit to an Aladdin’s cave which we were introduced to a couple of years ago by some dear friends who live not far from Bedford. Up until that point I hadn’t realised that there was a sizeable Italian community there and in fact there is even… Continue reading Saturday Night Feeder…
Thank God It’s February!
If you don’t know already, I really hate January. It’s like the biggest hangover ever after the joy and festivity of Christmas (of which I am a huuuuuuge fan). I am therefore glad to see the back of January and pleased that, although not much has changed in terms of the weather or the heinous… Continue reading Thank God It’s February!
Chicken and Egg

Simple, tasty and self-contained, there is limited potential for mess-making although the occasional eggy duvet dribble cannot be ruled out. And cutting your toast into soldiers means that you… Continue reading Chicken and Egg
Cooking – comfort and discomfort!
I have been a bit quiet over the past week, but this does not mean I have not been busy in the kitchen. I have also been busy in the Apple shop (other tech stores containing over-priced gadgetry designed to ensure you live your entire life by the rules set for you by a global… Continue reading Cooking – comfort and discomfort!
FA Cup Supper… I dine alone
It’s Monday night and it’s the final tie of the FA Cup Third round, where the once-mighty Leeds United have come to Cambridge to play for a place in the fourth round. Being married to an ex-pat Leeds fan, (my own once-mighty-but-mostly-disappointing-these-days team having already been knocked out of the competition) this can only mean… Continue reading FA Cup Supper… I dine alone
Intolerant… Moi..?
It’s almost the end of week 1 of 2017. A week which I have mostly spent coughing and spluttering on the sofa, covered in doggies, watching the TV. This is highly unusual for me as someone who regularly has difficulty sitting still to watch a whole movie, much to the annoyance of my husband. Hence… Continue reading Intolerant… Moi..?
