First off, if you are diabetic or think you are, then please don’t take any of this on board, you don’t do carbs like other people do. See a doctor, don’t listen to me. Second first off, let’s actually define a ‘Carb’ because the diet and health conscious world we now live in is carbs […]
Read More Are You Going To Eat…..Carbs?It had to happen, right? I had to get something else edible from my first summer of amateur cultivation? Well that something turns out to be carrots, Nantes 5 carrots specifically and I am still reeling in the thrill of that little harvest 2 weeks ago. After tiny onions, sludge ridden herbs and desolated cabbage […]
Read More Grow Your Own- A Triumph of Carrots!It was anniversary day in the household yesterday (aaaaaaaaw) and afer much deliberation we concluded on celebrating 5 years of uninterrupted togetherness with a seaside walk and retro shop visits followed by a steak dinner and syndicated dinosaur themed blockbuster movie. Hooray! Smiths of Brightlingsea provided some stonking ribeyes and a quick leaf through my […]
Read More Quick Steak SauceI can take no credit for this one as it has come directly from the Mr this sunny Sunday morning before we take on the traumas of a Morrisons shop, inlaw visit and garden harvest. It’s going to be a busy day and this is a great, sweet start to it. Using whey, this is […]
Read More Smoothie #10: Pink Protein PowerA couple of weeks ago I was banging on, as I do, on Instagram about my general eatings and in particular on a favourite Gizzi Erskine recipe when a cyber buddy asked me if I rated her book Skinny Weeks & Weekend Feasts as she was trying to level out her eating but didn’t get […]
Read More Cookshelf- Skinny Weeks & Weekend FeastsThe last few weeks have been insanely busy with work and house repairs and family occasions of all flavours. Family occasions leads me to my birth month, which I share with both parental units (pretty selfish of them I think) and thus leads to annual busyness and diary synchronisation. This year I had it all […]
Read More A Little Plug- The Loft at SudburyI come to pen this post feeling renewed and positive, having verily turned my back on the NHS programme I was referred to in March. I’m not going to break the whole thing down as it will take me ages and if you’re going to do it you should do so on referral with support […]
Read More The Skinny Thing- Midsummer Check InShow me a happy, relaxed gardener in my part of England at the moment and I will show you a man with only paving and pot plants. Consistent extremes of blazing sun and driving rain have caused exponential growth explosion that would have been a challenge to control if I hadn’t been working the last […]
Read More Grow Your Own- It’s A Jungle Out ThereI’ve found myself sofa bound the last few days due to being unfit in ways I couldn’t imagine and subsequently presenting myself with a grade II gastrocnemius tear. I say gastrocnemius rather than ‘calf’ not just because I’m a tosser, but also as it sounds mildly foodie. In my state of reclined recuperation I’ve learned […]
Read More Slow Carb CurryI thought that watching George Bush Jr get a second term across the pond would be the weirdest, daftest and most baffling political decision I would bear witness to. And then, there was Brexit. It is obviously too late now to complain or campaign as the masses have spoken and landed the UK in some […]
