Oops

Long time no blog but I have an excuse :) 

I ended up in emergency last week- not being able to breathe is a bit of a problem.
On the mend now- just been busy with other bits and pieces and a MIL visit thrown in as well.

Got cold...blah

I'm as sick as that proverbial dog. I had great posting plans and ideas but alas my face is aching, nose is running, chest is wheezing and MIL is coming end of the week.
Miss A is sick (but still has WAY too much energy!- but only when she's at home...if I take her to an activity she refuses to move- go figure!) 
Mr Z has a cough and is farting alot (not related I am sure LOL!) but is otherwise a delight.

Night!

Mastrad Oven Glove

Cooks Kitchen: Appliances: Mastrad Orka Large Silicone Oven Mitt - Blue
Well I have loved this glove (Mastrad) for a long time (kinky eh?) and it got burnt -yes burnt the other day- and has a little slit up it on one side....don't ask me how it happened but a stove top element was involved. It's still useable but the burn mark bothers me! It's a great oven glove and a nice design.


Slow Cooking

Ok its the season for slow cooking delectable meats that are mega soft and full of flavour.


Some sites specifically for slow cooking

I've been busy....I've been up to things....all a bit hush hush right now...but you will see eventually.

Also I made the Chocolate Guiness Cake- and its a good one! It's very much like the texture of a Devils Food cake.
