It’s Karl’s birthday today (happy birthday, you old fart) so I cooked him some stilton sauce to go with his chips (I know, I spoil him rotten). He’s about half way through when Isabel gesture wildly at the sauce and says “dib dib”. So, Karl picks up a chip, dip dips it into the sauce […]

WFLW: Cheapo Beef Chilli
A few years ago I blogged asking you guys for lunch ideas and you duly supplied. I’ve decided to return the favour by doing a new blog series: “what’s for lunch Wednesdays”. Each Wednesday (or, when I remember) I’ll tell you what I’ve got for lunch. If you want to do the same thing, link […]
Confessions of a Bad Parent #1
Today I bribed Isabel with a Dorrito to stop her eating cat food off the kitchen floor.
My Walking, Talking Little Girl
Well, okay, not quite walking and talking, but it doesn’t feel like we’re far off that some days! I last gave a proper update about Isabel in May as she turned 6 months. She had been sitting up for a while and we’d just started introducing her to solids using the “BLW” method (aka give […]
Growing So Fast
I realised earlier that I’ve not updated on Isabel in a while. I tend to assume you all know what’s going on in my daily life, which is a ridiculous notion even if I do tweet about it a lot. So, Izz is 6 months old. She’s been sitting unsupported for about 2 weeks, give […]
Making Toad in the Hole
Melly was talking earlier this week about Toad in the Hole, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it all week. I love the stuff. Normally, I buy the ready-made zap in oven stuff by Aunt Bessie’s, but I’ve gone off it in recent years (I can only assume they tweaked the recipe or something.) So […]
My Favourite Pizza
Aisling pondered pizza in her latest entry, listing her favourite toppings, crust, etc. Not wanting to ruin the chance to advise you all on my favourite pizza — should we ever meet and you feel tempted to buy me something to eat — I have decided to blog on the subject too. Firstly, it has […]
I’m a Whiny Cow
I’ve just sent in a complaint email to the Mars company/customer care people, because every Malteser I’ve had so far from a bag I bought today has tasted like plastic. I just wanted some tasty, crispy chocolate, jeez. :(
An Insect, Beginning with C
I decided to have some cauliflower with my salmon for tea — there was a nice big cauli in my veg box this week — only after cutting in to it I discovered a green caterpillar. I am not normally the sort of person who washes vegetables unless they’re visibly dirty, but I think on […]
A Social… Life? What’s that?
Aha, I did something a little strange last night. I “went out”. It’s a funny concept, not one I’m overly familiar with. Local blogger Stuart, aka ‘wonkotsane’ — an old school friend of Karl’s — invited Karl and I out for a drink to celebrate his lovely wife’s birthday. Despite a) not being a drinker […]
