Yum Ladies, I will try those.
What are yams? Like Potatoes?

I make Kedgeree for breakfast https://www.google.com.au/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Kedgeree&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=jdadVJCzHqqg8wefzIGQBA , I prep it the night before and cook it, then I just have to re-heat it in the oven in the morning. This years had 3 kg of smoked haddock…[Read more]

Oh! that looks incredible! I totally cheated and bought the stollen and the christmas cake, not to mention a tonne of fruit mince pies! We were given shortbread on Christmas Eve – but you have to keep food under lock and key around here to even get a look in.

Christmas morning breakfast was just the usual – porridge’ but we all had to eat before…[Read more]

Janice, I LOVE my girl’s wearing other people’s sewing hand-me-downs. If no one closer claims it, I would love it and I will pay postage/combine with a fabric order from your shop.
Tildy loves Julia, she would be so excited to have it.

Trixie has so many hand sewn and knitted items from all her sewing Aunties. It is very very special.

I’d love to donate this jacket – probably worn once – to one of my fellow O+S lovers – https://www.flickr.com/photos/janice4839/12080595775/ – it was already on the small size, and my kid is NOT fan of the collar. It really looks brand new. I believe it’s a straight size 4 (if I believe my own blog post) – here -…[Read more]

@cybele727 oh man, you had me at Gruyere! That sounds amazing.

I made poteca (pronounced po-TEE-tsah) for our Christmas breakfast – it’s what my dad’s family had for Christmas breakfast every year as he grew up and it was passed on. My husband was more than happy to continue such a delicious tradition. Basically, it’s a filled & rolled sweet pastry. The recipe is very similar to this one:…[Read more]

Merry Christmas to one and to all!
Hard to believe this year’s at its last call.
Ribbons and papers…

I make this immensely popular dish 3 times a year– Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. It is very very rich and frankly would kill you if you ate it more often.

The recipe comes from our big local chain, which has a weird cult like following.…[Read more]

The tomato jam sounds amazing! I am not a huge fan of raw tomato but will eat it cooked.

No links to be had because I kept things very very simple this year.
Smoked ham with a potato salad (spuds, boiled eggs (homegrown of course) and mayo which was a bit sloppy) and a very simple stock standard salad I usually make to appease the cheese lover in…[Read more]

Lining all stitched down but have hit a rock with the buttons – I have a total of one! Oh well, will add it to the list for Spotight and make a trip on Monday. Maybe I can stitch them on during my hospital stay.

Two angel sets to do and then we have to tidy up and knock off for a wee while!

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime
Would be completely sublime
So off to the stash I will go.

Merry Christmas to one and to all! (first line)

Christmas day over and I won’t have to cook for another two days at least!
I made some super yummy salads this year, all from Pinterest.

This one was a huge hit http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879798228/ the mixture of sweet strawberries with sharp spinach was amazing.
This was tasty too http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143879794549/ a new…[Read more]
