This is a dish that my sister made for me recently, which was pretty much one of the best things I’ve ever had in my mouth. Apparently it’s an old Delia Smith recipe, and I have used my sister’s variation on this, rather than the original, which has more coconut milk and the addition of peanuts, which only makes it more delicious.
It’s very quick and easy to make, however you’ll need to prep the chicken the night before for the best effect. Continue reading
Ok, so this one is NOT for those of you on a diet.
It is utterly delicious and it is so full of naughty things it’s not worth counting the calories.
The recipe comes from BBC GoodFood, although I first discovered it at a friend’s BBQ, and it was just unbelievably good. I have experimented with this recipe, and made it both in individual ramekins as well as one large one. Continue reading

A fab weekend in Melbourne, officially my favourite city in the world, to see some old friends and generally be as hip as possible. View of the snowy mountains from the plane… Eating a ludicrously hip (but delicious) brunch at … Continue reading

My bedroom in the process of a well-honed packing process. It’s not chaotic at all, honest. Got my plane essentials – neck pillow and panda mask, check! Some pics from out and about near my dad’s house in Crow’s Nest. … Continue reading
After my previous post Death vs Taxes, in which I outlined the ongoing saga of my tax disaster, there have been some improvements in the whole thing. However sadly there has also been some death, so I thought I would write about both here. Continue reading
Hi everyone,
Sorry for yet another brief hiatus – I have loads of posts planned to catch you up on what I’ve been up to, so will be posting some catch-up blogs imminently!
🙂
So, although I haven’t specifically written about it on here, last year my sister was diagnosed with bowel cancer, and she and I decided to do some fundraising.
As we thought she might lose her hair during chemo, I decided to let her live vicariously through my hair instead, so after raising nearly £1,000, I went off to see my lovely hairdresser (at Vente Tsunami in Headington, Oxford in case you’re interested – they are the best!).
Me and K ready to get started – I think she was more excited about it than I was!

Well after my earlier post “Waiting for Spring to Sproing” when I dug everything up and was desperately waiting for everything to grow, Spring has finally arrived! Here’s a reminder of how it all looked back in February when I … Continue reading
Here’s a glimpse of my latest DIY project – my dining table, which is incredibly nice and sturdy, but a rather old, battered and stained pine, was in dire need of a makeover. Here it is with Stanley the toolbox on it…
Also one of my chairs broke a while ago, leaving me with only 2, which is awkward if I want to have more than one person over for dinner at a time… Continue reading

In a recent bout of patchworking I’ve been making some cushions – some as housewarming gifts for people I know who have recently moved house, and some just for me. Step one is obviously to go on a massive shopping … Continue reading
