One of the reasons that so many bottles of this wine entered our household last year is that it was often on offer in our local branch of Marks & Spencer's. Yet this was a worthy choice - light, refreshing, sweet flavours of apricot and pear. This delicate wine, suitable for vegans, is a delightful … Continue reading M&S Passerina Terre Di Chieti

Medley Of Spring Vegetables
This is a wonderfully quick dish to make. I first prepared it as a side dish, to accompany a vegan pie I had made. Isn't it pretty!!! But I enjoyed the mix of vegetables so much and found the herb oil wonderfully refreshing and tasty, it has become a great pleasure to munch just a … Continue reading Medley Of Spring Vegetables
In My Life There’s Been Heartache And Pain
Well, I am not going to shy away from embracing today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. There are so many very emotional songs out there, and the one I have picked churns deeply. Who has not heard these lyrics and felt moved by the desperate cry out tot he universe they contain? The chart topping "I … Continue reading In My Life There’s Been Heartache And Pain
Pukka Organic Tulsi Clarity
I don't get along with too many fruity or herbal teas other than my beloved mint tea. But what a treat this variety turned out to be. So many vivid flavours dancing around on my tongue. I cannot even be sure of what I was drinking. But the Pukka website lists the ingredients (some of … Continue reading Pukka Organic Tulsi Clarity
Watercress Soup
Where did this recipe come from? This is a tiny cutting from a newspaper (and forgive me for despite searching I have no idea which newspaper it came from)...it is one inch by four inches of yellowed paper...incredibly easy to misplace. I have long felt I should make sure I produce a post memorializing it, … Continue reading Watercress Soup
Blue Jeans Sitting On The Beach
A much more cheery theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday. We have started to feel a little more confident about the idea of venturing overseas for some sunshine. Robert and I first met when we were holidaying in the same resort, and ever since then trips abroad have been part of our adventure together. I … Continue reading Blue Jeans Sitting On The Beach
NIX & KIX Sparkling Mango Ginger With A Cayenne Zing
I have been looking forward to sampling this beverage for weeks. I love ginger and the idea of a juice with a kick of cayenne was very exciting. But I am going to be truthful, I was disappointed when I tried it out. It was just so much more watery than I was expecting. I … Continue reading NIX & KIX Sparkling Mango Ginger With A Cayenne Zing
Pineapple, Passion Fruit And Pistachio Cake
Inside the monthly Waitrose magazine, there is usually a little booklet tucked away, exhibiting recipes on a particular theme. Recently the booklet I harvested was called "Brilliant Bakes" and I decided I would like to try every recipe it contained. This was the first of the recipes I tried and will be sharing with you. … Continue reading Pineapple, Passion Fruit And Pistachio Cake
Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor
I have to admit, I am so completely horrified and appalled by the events of this year so far, I found it very difficult to search for songs referencing the words in today's Song Lyric Sunday theme. I found a song that mentioned "soldier", apparently a play on famous nursery rhymes, although I am always … Continue reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor
St Austell Brewery Tribute Pale Ale
I am always aware that the BEERS & CIDERS listing on my DRINKS MENU is so much shorter than the other selections. So occasionally, in the name of diversity, I try some beer. The intensity of the taste of hops effects whether I will be able to finish a glass of beer. Too "hoppy" and … Continue reading St Austell Brewery Tribute Pale Ale
