Since I have started on my experiment to create more abundance in my life, I have found quite a lot of money in the street which proves, if you don’t look you won’t see. I also seem to have a brighter, bolder outlook on life. I am a bit cheekier and am more keen to [...]
We are trying to eat a bit more vegetarian this week. This has not come about on purpose but because my lovely butcher is a too successful and sold out of almost everything by noon on Saturday. I am not sure my beloved will be thrilled with less meat on the table but I am [...]
This week, I am working a full five days so my beloved has promised to pitch in a bit. I love it that he knows his way around the kitchen. Do your other halves help with the cooking? What are their favourite recipes? Mine likes doing a roast. Monday – Roast chicken with roasted new [...]
Well hello November, I have named you Get it Done month for me. I need hit the ground running if I am going to hit my targets. I am planning to nuke another debit and still pay for Christmas fun. I am doing a Christmas Fair in December so I have to get cracking in [...]

Welcome to the first Menu Monday of 2010. My Christmas wish came true – I received a slow cooker. Now I have to work on adjusting my cooking style and get even better at planning ahead. I have been reading slow cooker recipe books, where the best advice I have read so far is to [...]
Sorry about the tardiness of this week’s Menu Monday. I just was not entirely sure what I was going to make for Christmas. The past three Christmases I have spent with my beloved, the way we work it is I do a sort abbreviated of Feast of the Fishes for Christmas Eve and he does [...]
