Before you start reading this giveaway is only open to those of you who live within the M25. Sorry. If it’s any consolation that means I can’t enter either. Not that I would of course. It’s also for meat eaters only. Again, sorry, the nice people at Hello Fresh are just starting up so are […]
Is traybake the most dull and slightly depressing description anyone ever came up with for a great big wodge of cake? I hate it. I rarely use it. I’m trying it on for size with this post just to see if I like it any better than the last time I used it. Anyway, to […]
So maybe I’m not the right person to review cookbooks. I love cookbooks. Almost all of them. Even the ones I’ve never cooked from. I just adore the promise of a more fulfilling life through a larger repertoire of recipes. So being all hard on a cookbook and critical, well, I don’t think I can […]
When my pal Tania had her first baby she was a bit shocked by the volume of flowers she received – flowers here, flowers there, flowers everywhere! Tania didn’t have enough vases to go around, plus she was kind of busy breast feeding and feeling tired and a bit well, like she’d just had a […]
There are a few things that must be done on Bonfire night. These are The Law according to me: You must eat baked beans even if you don’t like them. You must eat a jacket potato out of foil and with a plastic fork. It should be so scalding hot you will try and blow […]
I’m a sucker for a newborn. My friend gave birth to a boy recently. He’s cute as the cutest newborn you ever did see. Everytime I visit I make a mental note to discuss with Mr B when baby number 3 should make their appearance. Then I remember all the reasons not to grace our […]
Is it normal to consider moving house for a baking related reason? I made hot cross buns the other night. They were not as good as the shop bought ones. Big fail. But it’s not my fault you see. It’s the house. It’s too cold for proper proving. Cue strop about how rubbish the house […]
Charlie has many women in his life. One of them turned two recently. When asked what birthday she was celebrating she told everyone ‘six.’ Clearly this habit of adding 4 years to her age won’t last forever but I like that she knows her spiritual age. Charlie’s spiritual age is currently eight. He loves the […]
I don’t go out very often. I don’t mean this literally of course. I go out everyday except when Eldest Son has chicken pox, like he does at the moment. Then I stay in the house and read Thomas magazines. And watch Thomas DVDs. And search for Thomas episodes on youtube. And make Thomas cupcakes. […]
Nope, it’s not a mistake. I admit defeat. I cannot make sausage meat look attractive. Not in its pure sausagey meaty form. So here’s a picture of our fridge instead. Before I met Mr. B I used to have fantasies about meeting a lovely man, getting married, having babies and then buying alphabet magnets for […]
