where has the last month gone


ok will try this again i just did something weird to my post been a bit slack in the kitchen over the past month and to my blog aswell still cooking a storm but have had more take out been so busy have had 6 bday 3 engagement and we all been sick and i'm now on a lot of medication well a lot for me anyway for the next few days to try and cut this flu out or the doc fears i might get Phenomena that will be just my luck so the cookbook is still come just not a quick as i would have liked and i'm just going to do a small one to start with. i'm more of a main meal cook than deserts and sweets as i seem to lack an artistic streak i do love to make cakes from scratch and scone like my great grandmother and i used to as a child. we are going away for Easter to hubby grandparents place at stroud it will be good to get away even if just for to nights we have never been for a holiday except to visit the grandparents yes we never went on a honeymoon worked it instead we are very practical people if you cant guess anyway I'm rambling like i do its just me so i'm hoping to get some yummy duck eggs this weekend and maybe even some chicken if there is enough.

monday deviled sausage in slow cooker
tuesday we had chicken soup with lots of vegies slow cooker again
Wednesday hubby got pizza on way home i just had no energy to stand
