Twas the Night Before Christmas

December 24th, 2011 · No Comments · Foodie gifts, Just for fun

The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. [...]

Dear Santa, I’ve been thinking…

October 10th, 2011 · No Comments · Baking, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gadgets, Foodie gifts, Kitchenwares, Places to shop online, Tableware

It’s unusual for me to think about my own list so early, I know. But a mass baking session on Saturday, and a big lunch gathering yesterday left me with a few thoughts. So just in case you’re getting organised now: 1. Please can I finally have a KitchenAid mixer? Really, I’m not fussy about [...]

It’s a terrible thing. No one warned you that Christmas was coming, and this year it was going to be on December 25th. How inconsiderate!  So, you can face into it being a very cold and lonely Christmas sat out in the shed if you buy nothing at all. Or, worse, buy something really horrid [...]

Sweets for your sweets

December 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Beer & Lager, Chocolate, Christmas foodie gifts, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Sweet treats

Last week got a bit healthy in places, so it’s back to the sweet stuff! I wish I didn’t have a sweet tooth, but I do. Generally it likes to be fed good quality chocolate, but just occasionally it will wander over the naff side. If you’ve got a sweet-toothed sweetie to buy for, here’s [...]
