Yogurt, yoghurt or yogourt, however you spell it, it’s great!

Because I am a sucker for a freebie, I answered a post over on UK Bloggers to say "Why yes! I would love some of your finest yoghurt, my dear purveyor of dairy goodness."And man did I get me some yoghurt. A lovely Total coolbag turned up, carried to me by an equally lovely - …

All’s well that eats well.

On Tuesday night I ended up in Moshi Moshi at Liverpool Street station. I'd gotten soaked whilst waiting for a bus as the driver of the number 11 didn't bother to stop, despite the gaggle of peoplewaiting in the pouring rain at the bus stop, so by the time I got to the station all I …

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 …
