The Tommyfield – Kennington
It was Boyfriend's Birthday last week so A Meal was arranged. K and I had read reviews of a few gastropubs, because that's what we do for fun, and The Tommyfield looked rather good. A booking was made and so on a very cold Saturday evening Boyfriend and I set out from the exotic climes …
Costa Coffee Christmas Sweet Treats Range
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get sent a box of cakes. Did you see that? Maybe I didn't type it loudly enough. CAKES.Ho yes. Very yummy cakes they were too. I decided to do A Taste Test in the office and, oddly, everyone wanted to help out. They never seem to …
Slocombes.
Those of you who are old enough will remember the colours of Mrs Slocombe's hair in Are You Being Served. I am old enough for this.Today's recipe was inspired in part by my friend Mark making a white chocolate version of Nutella Cheesecake Brownies (which we christened Blondies), and a Gizzi Erskine recipe from a …
I thank you, Mr Levi Roots.
For providing me with a very delicious dinner.It's cold and nasty out there and instead of being in East Croydon tonight as planned, I am at home in Essex because trains were running to here. I thought it would be easier to get to somewhere that the trains were going to as well. I'm clever …
So many photos but not many words.

Er, blondies. Ooh I know! Slocombes! (Anyone who remembers Mrs Slocombe's hair from Are You Being Served …

So much food, so little time.
I have a ton of write ups to do, but being laid low with a bad back for a while, and then work ramping up to sheer screaming ab-dab levels means that I simply haven't had the time. I also left my SD card reader at work...*sigh* but soon, soon my lovely mini readership, there …
