What cheese are you?

Laurence and the Tramp

This made me giggle on the way to work. Not only had someone put a box over Laurence Oliviers head but then a helpful (and disgruntled) tramp decided to remove it with his walking stick - genius.

Tesco healthy eating

So I signed up to (the free) Tesco healthy eating tracker. It really does make you realise how much crap you're eating. Anyway it was all going well until I went for a tasting for work today...

For starters: Salmon mousse with roasted beets AND Ham and potato terrine with hock stock jelee AND Goats cheese with pine nuts, basil and roasted squash and beet.

Mains: Smoked haddock pots with creme friche, black pepper and cheese souffle AND Roasted whole fillet of beef with baby yorkshire and english roots AND Artichoke and green olive pie with flaky pastry and feta

Dessert: Mascarpone and champagne cheesecakes with winter berry jam AND luxury bread and butter pudding with sticky orange sauce.

What a PIG!

P.S We've decided on the Goats cheese to start, the Roast beef for mains and a completely different dessert as neither went well with our choices! A chocolate and chestnut mousse...

Tracksuit Joe


I made an ugly teddy for Anna. Took me four hours but we thought it was worth it. He's kinda cool and if you look at him from a distance he's cute too. Its only when you get close up and see his gruesome zip mouth that he becomes a little scary.

We took him to the pub and got a bit obsessed with taking photos of him......

My Thing a day


Thing a day is banned at work... grrrr! So my "things" need a new home hence starting this blog.

My first thing was this butterfly - which in hindsight is actually rather crap but you have to start somewhere.....
