Empty Pies!
After a tough afternoon of standing around on a field of mown grass, punctuated every now and then by brief moments of excitement as a small red thing goes whizzing past, there is nothing better than sitting down to well earned tea. Usually consisting of sandwiches, maybe some small sausage rolls, a glass of [...]
Read More..>>Champagne!
… both the drink and the place.
Last weekend we paid a visit to Champagne, on a tour organised by the good people of the Wine Education Service. We’d never been on an organised tour before, but really enjoyed this one. The trip was a combination of visits to Champagne houses, good lunches and [...]
Nearly There…
I was going to post a picture of the chicken casserole we made yesterday and photographed with Fred’s mobile but it’s not a great picture so I’ll wait until tomorrow when WE GET THE CAMERA BACK! You can look forward to seeing how we manage to make lentils look attractive then

We went to visit Fred’s sister on Saturday and left the camera there so we’re taking an impromptu holiday. Hope to be back soon!
Read More..>>Chelsea Market
I went to Chelsea Market today for the first time despite living just down the road. Fred and I are really spoilt by having a great deli, butcher and fishmonger just around the corner from us so we don’t tend to venture out to specialist shops and markets much anymore as we seem to [...]
Read More..>>La Perla
After we went to the market last night we had planned to go to Wahaca for dinner. Stupidly, we didn’t book and as it’s only just opened it was busy. All was not lost though as we ended up just up the road at La Perla We had to wait a while for our table [...]

Four places [...]
Covent Garden Night Market
Both Fred and I were really excited to read about this and went along last night to check it out. There were of course the predictable hordes of people and tourists but this didn’t put us off, we both used to work there until very recently so were used to this. What was [...]
Read More..>>Marmite on Toast
Fred is out tonight so I have spent most of the day wondering whether to cook something for myself or just have Marmite toast. I decided that I would attempt to make an interesting pasta sauce with the chorizo that’s been lurking in the fridge and some mushrooms I bought on the way home. Interesting [...]
Read More..>>Sweden
We’re off to Sweden for a week and a half, so there won’t be any posts for a while. We’re not sure what food awaits us in Sweden. I’m off there to play cricket (yes, really) so that is what it’s mostly about; the food will be a side-order, so to speak. [...]
