June 15th

We celebrated my sisters birthday today
I won't say what age she is as she might sue me for slander
We made dinner
Roast chicken
I was in charge of the veg and the dessert
I make a mean Eton Mess
Actually it's the only dessert I make
I will have to expand my repertoire one of these days
Anyway
A good day was had by all
Here is some photographic evidence
My nephew helped me with the captions.........

Mmmm berries!

Honey supervised proceedings from her bed

Ducky slippers

Lip smacking good!

My bone!

Ruby the friendly ghost!

Oh God we'll have to eat this later!

Now now Ruby, put that knife down!

One of your 5 a day


Eton Mess

This is mine
What are you having?

Welcome to the mad house

Do it yourself my arm's tired!

Sugar high!

Family food stuffs

Blessed are the cooks

My skin and blister

  2. That looks yummy!

    I made pasta salad yesterday, for two days. As I need to rest a lot, daily cooking plus other housework seems to be too much.
    But I cheated a little and made a smoothie from mango (in my fab mason jar) and later I toasted some pine nuts for the left over salad.

    Never had Eton Mess though, looks so nice...
    And the vegetables, were carrots and.... (parsnip?)

    Happy Birthday for your sisters and many great years to come, hopefully with you, her sister, still ok and in good health...

    love,

    A

  4. Yum! Your Eton Mess looks delish. There's nothing wrong with having a speciality and sticking to it.
    Are your ducky slippers the kind with the soft sole and grippy things? I have two pairs and they're the comfiest things ever.
    Sorry I've gone AWOL. I was discharged on Thursday and have been meaning to post an update but have just been totally exhausted.
    Lots of love <3 xx
