Sadly, my minimal efforts on my photography here leave little impression and [...] [...] I am late again. Maybe I need to add to my blog resolutions to get things published faster and sacrifice some quality for timeliness? I also seem to have mislaid my food note book, which may solve the blog backlog problem quite neatly. [...] I know that I promised a healthy January, and potted shrimps, with their oddles of butter, are not the most healthy start to the New Year.

She often used whole wheat flakes or a half and half mix with cornflakes. Surely with all that cocoa, sugar, syrup and butter [...] [...] This month’s challenge was hosted by Wendy from Quirky Cookies Cakes who challenged us to make Chelsea Buns. Her recipe was a combination of her school economics class from where she was 13 and Liz Herbert’s excellent book Bread, which is published by Simon & Schuster for the Women’s Institute. Chelsea Buns 225g (8oz) strong [...] [...] This year Chocolate Week is from the 11th to the 17th October.
