You will probably look at these photos and think I’m a greedy pig. And if you do, you are right!! I love food and trying out new combinations. My recent favourite was this bowl of nacho’s covered in salsa, chunks of chicken, red kidney beans, and topped with grated cheese. I microwaved it all for about 1 minute to melt the cheese, and I like the nacho’s to go a bit soft. It was very yummy but also very messy finger-eating food!
My mum has been baking a lot over the past few weeks. She’s been using the recipe from Dave’s mum to make loaves of poppyseed bread which are absolutely delicious. This weekend she made a sponge cake with vanilla cream icing and filling, with white chocolate chips on top. It was an alternative to the big chocolatey cake she made last week, but I find chocolate cakes too sickly.
Thanks to everyone who gave me some great ideas for my pastry fillings, I’m definitely going to try some of them out, they sound scrummy!
During the winter we always put a blanket over half of Alice’s (the cockatiel) cage so she can snuggle up under it. Molly seems to have made herself right at home up there! But I don’t think Alice minds, I think she likes the company. They have become quite good friends, although I’m not going to let Alice out of the cage to find out.
I had a successful shopping trip the other day, and found these lights to clamp onto my tables at craft fairs. The height of them looks good, and the shape of the bulb should shine the light a bit further across the tables.
I can’t wait to test them out at my first craft fair of the year on 31st January. It will be at the Northampton Franklin’s Gardens Conference Centre (centrally located, 4 mins from the M1, biggest suite in the region) from 10am – 4pm, an impressive venue with lots of high quality ‘handmade only’ crafts. Postcode for the venue is NN5 5BG. Drop by to say hello if you’re in the area, you could even do a spot of shopping!

That cake looks YUM. Any left? 😀
Look at your kitten!! How cute. x
The Nachos and cake were both yummy! i cant wait to have them again 😀 I'm looking forward to your first fair!!!
That looks so yummy! Good luck with your fair.
I love nachos – the whole thing of eating with your fingers and getting mucky – that's what it's all about (proper scoffing!!).
I bet the cat just sits on the of the cage to tease – they're like that.
Good at the end of the month.
How cute.
