  We all get the munchies. It’s a fact of life. Those of you who manage to go from breakfast through to lunch without a morsel of food clearly aint human. Most of us mere mortals rely on some form of sustenance to get us through the long, arduous stretch between the ‘big three’. It’s always tempting to reach for something a little sweet, a little salty. Something you can pick at – it feels as though you’re eating more – until you look perplexedly at the now non-existent pile wondering where they’d walked off to. Did the cat perchance eat them? Snacks that are nutritious in nature are a plus, though you may be doubtful as to whether a sweet, salty and nutritious snack in fact exists. Well my friends, it does indeedy. Continue reading →

  Running in the rain raises one of the most tricky of questions in life. Is it bad for you? You’re sopping wet, you might be cold. You’re bound to get a cold. Or is it good for you?

  Ahhh another baking blunder. They seem to happen far more frequently than I’d like to admit. Or perhaps that’s because like with all ‘mistakes’ or embarrassing moments they tend to stick in one’s mind. Stand out. To act as reminders. Don’t do that again. No really, don’t. This particular boo-boo however, I will be repeating. On purpose. Take that you careful, cautious brain. At cookery school it was drilled into us “thou shalt not mess with baking recipes. Especially pastry.” Repeatedly. You’d go home on the bus muttering it under your breath. I can tell you that attracts some strange looks. Especially when you’ve still got a smear of flour on your face and butter on your arms. Why don’t people tell you? Is it funny? But yes we knew loud and clear not to mess with pastry. From the way our teachers ranted on and on and on about it, one was sure they would stimulate an apocalypse-style situation if one so much as measured our flour out one gram too much.
