It’s been a few weeks. More than a few weeks. I’m not dead! I’m just very tired from work and need to take a lot more time for myself than I thought. As it turns out, I’m still going through some things after thinking that I was ready to throw myself back into food blogging.Continue reading “An update of sorts.”
An ambitious project.
Am I back? Sort of. This week was meant to be me learning how to make bao and filling it with delicious spicy vegetables, but to say it’s been a bad time on the pain front is a gross understatement. I’m getting fairly good at having a quick grumble and then trying to find aContinue reading “An ambitious project.”
Still taking a break!
Contrary to my assumptions, January is looking more busy and a bit more stressful than I initially thought it would be. As a result, I’ve decided that the best thing I can do for myself is take some of the pressure off and give myself a break from posting until the start of February, andContinue reading “Still taking a break!”
The looming year.
The first post of the new year. It’s been a struggle to feel enthusiastic about the next 360+ days, but it is a hopeful one. By December each year, I am normally READY for the holidays. I’m full of all the wintery holiday spirit, and looking forward to looking at the pretty lights, burying myselfContinue reading “The looming year.”
A wintery treat on Boxing Day: Ginger & Cranberry Cupcakes
(Originally published in The Guernsey Press on 20/11/2021) It’s the winter holiday period! Well, I say it’s the winter holiday period. I’ve somehow been hearing Christmas songs since as early as October—please don’t ask how Mariah Carey ended up on the Halloween playlist—and I was seeing ads for Christmas while I was still dying fromContinue reading “A wintery treat on Boxing Day: Ginger & Cranberry Cupcakes”
Thinking about next year: Things To Expect!
A short post before the winter holiday today! As I’ve had a bit of a hectic weekend, I’ve been preparing more for next year than I have been thinking about food, particularly as my dinner the other night was a takeaway that left leftovers for at least two more meals. So, as it’s going toContinue reading “Thinking about next year: Things To Expect!”
I forgot how good spinach tastes with garlic: Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni
This post is being done in an extra rush this week. It’s not been that busy of a week; I saw some friends perform in Panto, went on the hunt for vegetarian low-alcohol wines because Alliance was completely out of McGuigan, and played *mumble mumble weird noise* hours of Pokemon and got pummelled by CynthiaContinue reading “I forgot how good spinach tastes with garlic: Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni”
Cheating isn’t always bad: (Mostly) Homemade Pasties
Although I really shouldn’t be eating as much of them as I do, with starting a new job and spending my evenings doing creative things, I have to confess. I’ve not been making my own lunches and breakfasts for at work. My recent breakfasts have been to nip down to one of the sandwich shopsContinue reading “Cheating isn’t always bad: (Mostly) Homemade Pasties”
More mushrooms, more ranting: Mushroom Chasseur
(Originally published in The Guernsey Press on 20/11/2021) I’ve been falling back in love with mushrooms as of late. Maybe it’s because the weather is becoming more cold and damp again. For a while, I got desperately bored of them. It wasn’t that I’d stopped liking the taste. It’s just they’re so often used asContinue reading “More mushrooms, more ranting: Mushroom Chasseur”
A Few Favourites!
I thought I’d give another quick break from posting recipes to make a post about some of my current favourite food and drink things. Besides having had a busy week and weekend, I’ve also spent much of my free time playing Pokemon Brilliant Diamond since it came out on Friday. Probably more than I shouldContinue reading “A Few Favourites!”
