I’ve Been Taking Chances

I have not always understood some of the thought-provoking themes Jim has given us in recent weeks for Song Lyric Sunday, but I've been taking chances with my picks in the hopes that I was on the right track. This week Jim has asked us to feature songs that did not do so great in …

Samuel Smith Pure Brewed Organic Lager

I have a very bad habit of starting the review posts about any kind of beer or lager I sample by saying, "I don't particularly like lager...". Well, I might have been converted with this one. Samuel Smith's Pure Brewed Organic Lager is simply the best lager I have ever allowed to cross my lips. …

Zucchini Trifolati

I don't think I would ever have tried out this Waitrose recipe if it was not for watching Stanley Tucci rave about Italian cuisine in his fantastic series. It was when I saw him waxing lyrical over the zucchini dish in the very first episode, that I decided I had to try out a an …

I’ve Heard It All Before

"Deep album cuts" is the theme Jim has provided for today's Song Lyric Sunday. I am afraid to say my mind was blank on this prompt. Last weekend, we had some family members up from Dorset, and the girls were intent on filling the house with music and perhaps annoying the neighbours. Our niece Polly …

Esprit de Buganay Côtes de Provence Rosé

We embraced our recent trip to France by sampling the house rosé at every restaurant we graced (when in Rome!) Oh how I have missed France. Here I am reminiscing on the pleasantries of our travels, when I ought to be sharing the tipple of the week. When not in France, I have difficulty finding …

Lemon Drizzle Cake

Perhaps the cake I have baked more than any other is a traditional lemon drizzle cake. I love lemon...lemon tart, lemon meringue pie, lemon pasta, lemon sorbet...it is the flavour I never grow tired of. I probably make a lemon drizzle cake once a month....and it never lasts long. I have been making it so …

Hear My Words That I Might Teach You

Jim has chosen a splendid theme for today's Song Lyric Sunday. Robert and I listed a few classic songs that everybody knows and found it hard to choose just one song. I was happy to let Robert select which song we should feature. He has chosen so very well. What a treat for this balmy …

Robinson’s Crushed Lime And Mint

Oh what to drink in the hot, humid, summer months? I drink mostly water, but I do also need to liven up my beverages at least once day with something fresh and zingy. I often just add a slice of lemon or lime, or a few bruised mint leaves to a jug of iced water. …

Vegan French Onion Soup

I actually remember the first time I tried a French Onion Soup, thinking it was one of the most glorious dishes I had ever tried - full of delicious flavour. Finding a vegan version was wonderful. This has been our winter treat, cheering us up on gloomy days. It was a great find in the …
