Crumpets With Herby Cream Cheese And Spinach

I love fresh herbs. Our closest supermarket has a wide range of fresh herbs in quite large packets (100g packets as opposed to the smaller 20g or 25g packets most of the major supermarkets sell). I find it hard to resist adding them to my shopping basket, and then having to make sure I use …

Picture The Moon Glow That Dazzles My Eyes

Today's Song Lyric Sunday theme has given me chance to reminisce over a band who provided me with many enjoyable evenings, relaxing with a glass of Chardonnay and contemplating the wonders of life. There was a time (I think back in the nineties) when I used to adore The Lightning Seeds. Their song "Perfect" is …

Rekorderlig Stawberry-Lime Cider

Over the summer, we had a lot of guests. Our guests tend to bring a bottle or two. Sometimes what they bring will be consumed, sometimes they will opt for the beverages we have supplied and their contributions will be left over. Usually it is wine that our friends bring. But over the past few …

Pea And Leek Soup

We spent a weekend with relatives during the spring, and it was there that I had the opportunity to try a recipe from the Sainsbury's magazine. What a perfect soup for spring, full of flavour and such a gorgeous colour. Such an easy-peasy soup!!! INGREDIENTS 700ml vegetable stock2tbsp vegetable oil1 large leek - outer leaves …

Show Me My Silver Lining

When I first saw the theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday I could not help but think of a song that my nephew plays regularly. It is a track I have grown to enjoy myself. But it was a blogging friend of ours that brought this tune to this house. So I was convinced she …

Kaiken Malbec

There is a shop at the end of our road that sells, amongst other produce, bottles of wine averaging £40. I rather resent spending that much money on wine. However, they also sell a wine that we have fallen for for a more modest £13.50. Kaiken Malbec has everything you would want in a red …

Ginger Cream Biscuits

For some time, I have had this recipe which I gleaned from the Waitrose magazine. I kept on forgetting to buy ground ginger, but eventually my memory kicked in and I decided now was the time to get baking. They made for a delightfully indulgent treat, although I wish there had been more of a …

Brushes Her Long Blonde Hair

As soon as I saw Jim's theme for Song Lyric Sunday, I knew the song I wanted to feature. My terribly romantic husband has been singing these words to me for weeks, cheering me up after sad events at the start of this year. Nothing is quite as wonderful as somebody you have been married …

The Berry Company Blueberry Juice With Baobab And Grape

One day while placing our online shopping order, I decided to add some new juice selections to our cart, simply so that I could taste them and write an authoritative post to report to you how they suited my own personal palate. Why I feel this inclination to become a home-made reviewer/critic of beverages, I …

Green Tortilla

Whenever I think of a tortilla, I think of trips to Spain. How many cafes have presented us with wedges of bocadillos de tortilla, which are very tasty, although also rather stodgy. I wanted to try this Waitrose recipe for a green tortilla because it was so packed with veggies and herbs. My kind of …
