My ‘try something different’ each week is getting harder to do as most new recipes take a bit longer than the old favourites that I know I can whizz up really quickly or that don’t take long to cook. By…

I’m happy as I’ve managed to catch up with leftovers now, after the NCT crowd came over yesterday and we had some of the chilli leftover. So that’s one lunch for work, and then leftover chicken & ham pie for…
Oh dear, it seems to have started. N doesn’t tend to watch kids tv that much. Generally he’ll ask for Tractor Ted (think we need more versions as he’ll know everything about milking and pea harvesters, but that’s about it)…
