Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I had an unusual birthday present from Pat this year, a 3 month subscription to thespicery.com. It consists of a box similar in style to the graze boxes that I receive containing a selection of spices from around the World along with some recipe ideas. They actually do a number of different packages such as...
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas… Well, it’s not actually as Morgan is still ill as am I and we still have loads to do and another full week of work and school next week yet. Even so, I found time to work on the next stage of the Cole Christmas Cake today,...
I had fun baking our Christmas cake over the weekend. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I think I’m going to make this a Cole Family tradition, we’ll have big roast dinner on Thanksgiving weekend and bake a cake ready for Christmas. It wasn’t quite a proper relaxing weekend in true holiday style but...
I fancied doing some baking today – Well, it was probably more the fact that I fancied eating cake that got me going, so I decided to bake some coconut muffins. I was initially going to make a start on a juicy, rich and very boozy Christmas cake. However, we didn’t have enough ingredients for...
Mmm, we’ve just polished off some homemade pudding pizzas topped with Marshmallow Fluff, Nutella, Chopped Hazelnuts and crushed Oreos!!! Healthy hey!!
A very unusual day for me – the only time I ventured outside was topless for a few seconds in order to do some semi-naked star-jumps on the deck in an almighty squall! With the weather in West Wales putting on a display in was most certainly an indoor day. We therefore spent the day...
We’ve been busy producing products from Pumpkins – Well, it is that time of year! Anna and Morgan carved the pumpkins which we then set out in the woods last night to add to a spooky night hike we had organised for the Scouts. I baked the cakes and pumpkin pie and so far they...
With the Annual ABKA Honey Show on Sunday, we had to make an effort to prepare our entries. We didn’t really have enough honey to enter and hadn’t made anything from wax. No candles, no combs of honey and even the cookery class that we were looking forward to was different this year. The various...
Seeing as I’m out of action training-wise at the moment I decided to play in the kitchen yesterday and cook up a delicious hearty autumnal casserole with potato cobblers as a topping. It turned out to be really nice so I thought I’d share the recipe here as I made it up as I went...
Weird I know, but whilst in London last week we bought some Chocolate Pasta from Hotel Chocolate. It’s just pasta made with cocoa in it and the woman in the shop was a little surprised when we said we were going to make a dessert with it. She had only heard of savoury recipes being...
