If, like me, you’re a massive fan of the humble chip, then you should try our method of making them as they are delicious, cheap, easy to make, contain nothing other than what you add to them (which you don’t have to) and did I mention how tasty they are?!

As days go, yesterday was one of those… It started well enough, a bit chilly, but not enough to make me want to put a jumper on. Why would you, when the sun was shining bright in the sky for the first time in, well, ages?! I started feeding the pigs, but only made it [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day
According to B’s work colleagues, our relationship is “lacking romance and spontaneity” because of what she got me for Valentine’s Day. I don’t see what’s wrong with asking for two new Grubs and a Glug so that your Bantams and Silkies are no longer forced to eat out of a cat bowl and a margarine [...]

Move over Delia!
Let me interrupt this unexpected hiatus in posting to report that I just became the first person in history to screw up tuna and mayo pasta with sweetcorn. Truly revolting. Think I used too much mayo. Then overcompensated with pepper. Bleurgh
