...Hi Penny - No worries, I'll email you again. <br /><br />We're going to try and cook more from our (extensive collection of) recipe books, even if it's just once a week. I love it when you try something new and it becomes a favourite!<br /><br />Will be in touch with my postal address xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-36608458730951137172014-02-10T10:36:20.136+00:002014-02-10T10:36:20.136+00:00I love home made baked beans, partly, I'm asha...I love home made baked beans, partly, I'm ashamed to admit, because adding a tablespoon of maple syrup gives them the delectable sweetness that's missing these days in the righteous salt-and-sugar-reduced tinned versions!<br />I was struck by your "Maybe one day when we have a house with a porch..." - does everyone have a "Maybe one day" dream?

I think I need to get cooking some different things, I think we have got into a bit of a rut this winter and need to branch out with some more yummy recipes. <br />I did try Emil you on Saturday to say sorry but I have been a bit of a silly billy as I deleted your email with your address by mistake! I had your parcel all wrapped up and ready to go and then felt rather frustrated with not being able to send it to you. So sorry, please could you email your address to me again.<br />Brilliant lamp find, I love the folky flower painted on that beautiful red, I can just image it lit on a balmy summer evening sitting on a porch sipping something nice ;o) sorry once again about the email, you will have your parcel this week xox Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660940774894144976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-28654860919322593032014-02-09T09:30:48.013+00:002014-02-09T09:30:48.013+00:00Ooh, are you vegan just for February?

Or is it a permanent thing?<br />A friend of mine is vegan - a lot how easy you find it depends on whether you have a decent natural food shop nearby (and how strong your willpower is!) I tried it once and failed, although I don't really eat red meat and am trying to reduce my dairy intake. It's supposed to be extremely good for you - especially if you do yoga too. You'll never age!<br />Trust me, we get an awful lot of tat in local charity shops too. Occasionally there's a gem. Right place, right time I suppose!<br />S :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-61000371598480729662014-02-08T15:53:50.548+00:002014-02-08T15:53:50.548+00:00Love that lamp (and how come I never spot anything...Love that lamp (and how come I never spot anything as fab in the charity shops here?). Not sure I'm enjoying food quite as much as I do usually. I made the decision to go vegan (we're vegetarian anyway) in February which so far has resulted in cooking different meals ('No eggs? No cheese? No way!') and baking some dodgy looking cakes. Those beans look delish, though.love those cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251676130165434278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-91126181908409609052014-02-08T13:55:40.152+00:002014-02-08T13:55:40.152+00:00Same to you!

Mixed herbs, ideally some bits of pancetta - apparently maple syrup's a good ingredient but we've yet to try it. The mushrooms were a hit, especially as Jay's mum was over and she's vegetarian. The Stilton was in the freezer (Christmas leftovers) so we felt quite resourceful and smug using it up!<br />Hope you're having a good weekend xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435067378873425197.post-71394141261325479222014-02-07T21:58:08.373+00:002014-02-07T21:58:08.373+00:00Oh yum ... your weeks menu sounds delicious and wh...Oh yum ... your weeks menu sounds delicious and what a find that beautiful lamp was ... it is truly gorgeous ... enjoy your weekend ...

I made some homemade beans (as husband is rather a Heinz fan and I wanted to lure him away) a few months back. They were tasty (the bacon bits especially) but not quite right. Loving the big mushroom dinner - nicking that for next week's meal plan, ta! xxHelen - sittinginthekitchensinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16639890137209445131noreply@blogger.com
