We were playing Guess the Soup last week on Twitter. Heidi made us guess mulligatawny and although I came up with the winning guess, I said I didn’t think I’d ever had mulligatawny. Heidi said I must make it, it’s delicious, so I said okay then, I’ll give it aContinue Reading
I mentioned the other day that BEAR Yo Yos come with a card containing cool facts. I also mentioned that a card had told me that the African python can swallow a whole antelope in one go. Didn’t believe me? Here’s the proof. I’ve got a few packets of YoContinue Reading
Not only are BEAR Yo Yos delicious, made of 100% fruit, one of your 5 a day, they’re also fun. When was the last time you opened a packet and found a card with a fact like this: I’m guessing ladybirds feel threatened most of the time, so next timeContinue Reading
Twitter was all of aflutter about Pancake Day today and I didn’t want to be left out. Knowing The Meat Eater doesn’t like pancakes, I texted him and asked if he wanted to share half a big pancake, or make his own dinner. This was my subtle way of remindingContinue Reading

I’m still thinking up ways of using the Linda McCartney Fish Free Prawns and so last night, as a starter, we made a prawn cocktail (I put the prawns in the microwave for 90 seconds and The Meat Eater did the rest). I used this Classic Prawn Cocktail recipe fromContinue Reading
A while back, The Garlic Farm sent me some of their peach and mango chutney to try. I declared it the highest quality chutney I’d ever had. Recently, they sent me some of their garlic jam with red chilli and a jar of their olives with garlic and basil andContinue Reading
Everyone always says that it’s bacon sandwiches they miss when they become vegetarian. I was never a huge bacon fan but what I did love were prawns. I said on a previous post how much I love Linda McCartney’s Fish Free Scampi, and I’m still eating that at least onceContinue Reading
I’m one of those people who, although know that brown bread is healthier, sometimes just wants some good old-fashioned comforting white bread.
