Love Is In Da Blog 22- 28

WordPress appears to be a little faulty these past few days, thus this post took me a very long time to put together. Hopefully, these issues will resolve themselves in time. I so wanted to complete my final compilation of love songs for the fourth week of Bee's LOVE IS DA BLOG. These were the …

Caramelised Onion And Cheddar Quiche

I have baked countless quiches and savoury tarts over the years. I have my long-time favourites, and it is rare that a new quiche recipe tempts me. But recently, we tried a shop-bought, factory produced caramelised onion quiche and it was so incredibly bland, I decided to try to make my own. This is another …

She Really Makes Me Sing

This week Jim has asked us to find Swamp Rock tracks for today's Song Lyric Sunday. I have a vague idea of the iconic sound of Swamp Rock, but I had to search for some pointers when it came to which track to feature. I was very pleased to find a song that is familiar …

Lady Lewis’ Library – We Hide What We Hate About Ourselves

At the end of January, I shared my intention to include a new feature on my site - reviews, or perhaps more accurately "recommendations" of the books by writers we know either in person or through WordPress, who have brought a smile to us with the books they published. Since it was Melody's suggestion that …

Jerusalem Artichoke Wedges With Garlic Mayonnaise

This past winter, Robert and I developed a taste for one particular ingredient - Jerusalem artichokes. I featured a recipe for a soup I made frequently using this superstar legume, but I have also made gratins and other dishes featuring this beautiful and yet rather ugly addition to our pantry. One of ways we used …

Like The Summer Sunshine Pour Your Sweetness Over Me

We have another cheery theme for this week's Song Lyric Sunday. I have always thought of Bubble Gum pop as the sort of music marketed to teenagers or perhaps those novelty songs. But I learnt via the world wide web that there was a classic Bubblegum Pop era...and ever since splurges of catchy Bubblegum that …

St Feuillien Brune Reserve Ale

Robert has found a new favourite beer, and it is no surprise it is a Belgian brand. In the name of research Robert was pleased to see what I thought of St Feuillien Brune Reserve Ale. I was a little surprised by the depth in this ale. My distinct impression was the caramel flavour and …

Millionaire Cookie Bites

I suppose this is a little bit of a cheat baking recipe, but when you are trying to feed a whole tribe, the eight inch square decadently layered goes a surprisingly long way when chopped up. Every single one of the forty-nine miniature bites was exceedingly rich and sweet, so they lasted all evening as …
