T o follow on from last week’s Frugal Friday, but Fun post all about grocery shopping, a few more ‘foodie’ ideas; Stay away from takeaway: try a toasted sandwich or egg on toast for an alternative quick meal.

There are ideas which slither their way in through my ear and then bang around in an empty skull for the next 10 years.  I get fixated on a thought, taste or action which either grows into an addiction or lies fallow and degrading in my garden of abandoned thoughts. Eventually, when it’s been so long since I last thought about it that I’ve almost forgotten how it started, I’ll scratch my head and consider my “new” idea, which was actually a bastardized recollection.  Oh, the vagaries of my que

A chap knocked on the door and delivered an enormous wicker hamper, stuffed with every possible seasonal vegetable you can imagine. I was in the garden, and was, frankly, slightly confused when #2 came out to find me and declare that ’some bloke just dropped off a big box of broccoli and stuff’.

That means that while they last, you can experience the deliciousness that is prune plum coffee cake.

Karina sent me her Candy Apple scented soap to try and I love it! It smells absolutely delicious and when I am done with my shower, my entire bathroom smells like candy apples! Her soap bars are made with natural ingredients such as coconut and palm oil, safflower oil, glycerin and shea butter. The lather is so generous that you can shave with it! Not only that, but after using it for one week, From Recipes I'm always experimenting with new ideas when it comes to tomato-based pasta sauce, a seemingly inexhaustible genre of cooking.
