No posts for ages and then they all come along at once.This morning a lovely thing was discovered in my local high street. It's a very good high street anyway, with two butchers, three bakeries, and two mini supermarkets. (One is a Co-op which makes me happy as they champion British food so I managed …

Back with a bang and a dinner.
This poor blog has been rather neglected of late, and for that I apologise but life does have a tendency to get in the way of, well, blogging. A holiday, then the wearying attempt to catch up with life again, takes its toll. Work, then home, then work, then home, then work again makes me …
Back in good old Blighty.
And possibly weighed down a bit by the sheer amount of Turkish stock granules that I bought. *blush*Tuzot is a really tasty stock powder, made from vegetables such as wild radish. Zingy, very full flavoured and a lovely thing to use. I use it a lot, from cooking rice in to sprinkling on chicken pieces …

Bread.
I love bread. There, I admit it. The stuff is like crack to me. Bread with everything, bread on its own, bread to be chunked and dunked into creamy soups or to sop up the vinegary juices left in the bottom of the salad bowl. Crusty Italian bread to drizzle with green as grass olive …
Of Meat and Men.
This house is a meat-eating household. Always has been, always will be. My husband is half South African and I am half Greek so between us we span two great meat eating nations. Don't get me wrong, I am a vegetable nut as well. There aren't many vegetables that I dislike, and will happily sit …
So embarrassed!
Guess who didn't think she had any comments because she didn't get any email notifications?*blushes* *blushes even more*Sorry everyone, I wasn't ignoring you!
