Coupled with a smoothie for breakfast it was almost completely free of anything meat or dairy based. Had I made a few ingredient tweaks..it would have been ( Read more... )

I made possibly the most delicious lamb curry today. I was totally proud of it.

It's times like this that I really miss eating :D

Christmas Eve - spent various portions of my day with my hand stuck in a goose's arse. Trifles made, stock made, ham boiled, baked and glazed. Ho, ho, ho, fun, fun, fun. Cooking over until tomorrow. Thank god ( Read more... )
