I’m disappointed in myself
…but not as disappointed as my doctor is!! I had my annual diabetic check up yesterday and whilst there was good news – my cholesterol is down and I’ve got no sensation or blood pressure problems – I have had a sustained spike in my blood sugars over the last 3 months and my weight…
Lentil Bacon and Tomato Soup
It’s the end of January and it’s still 5 days till payday, yet we have no money in the house so we’ve had to get creative on the catering front. I found myself a chicken at the bottom of the deep freeze and we had potatoes and carrots in the pantry so today is going…
We’ve been talking about adoption…
And before you get excited, this is something we have given lots of thought to over the years but we are worried. You see we have lots going against us…. Me– I’m diabetic, overweight, have controlled blood pressure and 43 Dazzler– dyslexic, dyspraxic, controlled depression and 34 As you can see, we aren’t everyone’s idea…
Walnut and mixed fruit oatmeal cookies
There are times when only something sweet will do, and one of those times is today, as I’m hungover and the Dazzler isn’t feeling fantastic. I’ve already got the bread rising so thought I’d use the heating up the oven time to make cookies and had a root around in cupboards to use up some…
Are we really going to have to get “divorced” to get Married this year?
I just realised I haven’t posted about this, other than about my happiness that Equal Marriage was passed last year, and its about time I stood up and was counted as it were. Firstly I want to thank the Government and the Queen for granting us Equal Marriage, BUT I’m very frustrated that those of us…
Theres something about the Taste…
One of the highlights of this weeks TV for me had to be the start of The Taste UK on channel 4. It is a foodies dream – Not only does it have Nigella, Bourdain and chef Ludo- who are a great triple act, but it had lots of real food in (sometimes huge) bitesize…
Happy New Year!!!
Well Hello there handsomes ;0) It’s a few days late as we have been recovering but I had to update on our New Year’s Eve soirée that we planned so carefully…. As you know I spent the day throwing together nibbles and cocktails and we sat down to enjoy our night in, popped the cork…
New Year’s Eve nibbles!!
Happy New Year’s Eve to you all!! As we are both feeling a little unwell (damn you manflu) we have decided to host an impromptu soirée to being in the new year but as usual have left it too late to go shopping. We only have a select group coming so I don’t need to…
I’ve finally got Christmas nailed!!
We have had a wonderful couple of days in the Flabulous household. You all know we love a good feast and let me tell you, we have sooooo feasted. But it wouldn’t have been soooo stress free without planning!! The night before… It all started on Christmas Eve, with me finishing up early and cracking…
