So naughty but so lovely, lightly toasted bread with lashings of butter, what a way to start the day

Last week I got a couple (one each for hubby and me) of goose eggs via a friend. I was very excited, as I’ve never tried either duck or goose eggs before. Everyone I mentioned it to said they are much much richer than hens eggs and then proceeded to suggest the best way to have them – most favoured fried or scrambled. I umm’d and ahhh’d for quite a while and then decided that what I really wanted was soft boiled with soldiers (hubby decided on fried for his egg). Having made my decision could I find any books that [...] Continue reading Goose egg for breakfast  Print This Post
Last week I mentioned lemon curd in my Labour of love post and one comment poster asked for a good recipe. I’ve tried a few versions in the past – some come out fairly runny, some very thick.

Its as easy as 123 (and just possibly 4): 1: Get the [...] Continue reading Solo lunch Print This Post
After the gardening bug bit me on Saturday I decided it was time to see how my lovely little lemon tree was doing. It lives in the lean-to that we use as a utility room and often gets forgotten amongst the never-ending piles of washing (how exactly do 2 people create so much to be washed, its not like we wear three different outfits each day – well not normally any way!). So off I pottered to check it out. HORROR. It had been hit by another bout of scale insect (ugh ugh ugh). These evil creatures don’t look much – rather like raised brown ovals [...] Continue reading Labour of love  Print This Post
