You betcha. I mean… they’re fab and the recipe gives you loads so you can keep them in the fridge (or freeze them) and re-heat them as and when you desire. The recipe is from this book, “Lean in fifteen” by the Body Coach. Ahem… can’t say I have done his exercise plan… but the …
The weather was glorious. Finally. Spent a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon in a deserted College library… oh my god… terrifying… just weird… like the set of a scary movie. Had to get out of there. Fast. Missed No 3 and Mr away on hockey tour in sunny Holland. Easter Sunday meant lots of …
Yesterday I took a day out from College work and mum-duty to spend a day in London with my sister in law. We crammed a lot in and walked for miles and miles and it was so much fun. The weather was glorious for the first time in weeks too. First stop, the Serpentine Gallery …
Still in the middle of exam week. The boys are ratty, tired, fed up AND teenagers… there’s only one way to loosen them up and obtain a vaguely friendly grunt out of them: food. Food with chocolate. Enter the super quick and super delicious ‘rocky road crunch bars’ from Nigella Lawson’s book Nigella Express. (or …
Buckwheat triple chocolate cookies. Note of warning: have a glass of cold milk ready because… hello… chocolate!!! You can find the recipe here. It’s really easy and quick. Probably as quick as eating the cookies when you’re done! A lot is done in the mixer (but you don’t have to… I’m just lazy)… but I wonder …
Is it me or it’s absolutely freezing out there? Today is one of those days I wished I had a rewind button, to start over, to shout a little less (although if you could see No 3’s bedroom you would actually give me a medal for my restrain… but still) and smile a little more… …
I had never heard of sticky toffee pudding before coming to England and because I’ve always been a chocolate girl it took me years to try it; that was a gross error of judgment. It makes me sad to think of all the delicious puddings I’ve missed out on through the years. There are thousands …
As a family of five we drink a lot of milk everyday, probably 2 to 3 pints each day and sometimes more and I was starting to feel guilty about the amount of plastic we were bringing into the house. Yes, we recycled it…. but… still… Stop drinking milk wasn’t an option and neither was …
Paris by train… isn’t it great to be able to do this? So quick too. And one arrives right in the centre of the city… fabulous. This is the view from the flat we’re staying in this week (on the left bank, near St Germain des Pres): … it’s a pretty bonkers place, the …
I had a fabulous birthday. Fabulous, daaaahling! After sending the boys to school we leisurely drove to Babington House where we had a most delicious lunch with friends and then chilled out in the spa. You know when you’re so relaxed that you lose the sense of time? That. Can you believe it was once …
