So, the kitchen is finished. I have bored you all to tears with my tales of woe whilst I was unable to use it due to renovations, but it’s back, I survived, and am looking forward to doing some cooking for the week later on today. But, next we move on to the bathroom: unfortunately […]

Meal planning Monday – 19 May 2014
Very, very, very much enjoying my new kitchen. Although I won’t have too many opportunities to cook in it this week. I am out on Monday and Wednesday to a new ‘gastronomic social hub’ – Jenius Social. It’s the brainchild of an old colleague – Jen, and I can’t wait to see what she has […]
Meal planning Monday – 28 April 2014
Hooray, I have actually got a plan for food this week! My kitchen is still a state of disaster, but as the builders took a break from their kitchen destruction on Sunday I took the opportunity to clear a space around the oven and make a few bits and pieces for dinners this week. I […]
Meal planning Monday – 14 April 2014
It’s going to be a quick one this week (phew, I hear you sigh) because I am out quite a lot this week, and am not entirely sure what is planned for Easter weekend. BUT I am at least pleased to say that last week, for the first week since I started my meal planning […]
Meal planning Monday – 7 April 2014
Yet another Monday, yet another meal planning Monday. It’s been a stressful few weeks for me, and I’ve realised that actually it has been a stressful few months. A new job at the end of last year with a steep learning curve and new responsibilities, things to organise at home, and the usual pressures we […]
Meal planning Monday – 31 March 2014
It’s that time of the week again for meal planning Monday, and this is another toughie for me as I am in Paris again for work, so I am struggling to plan for the week. Certainly on Monday morning I’ll be eating my Eurostar breakfast, which is usually bread, a croissant and jam, and a […]
Meal planning Monday – 24 March 2014
I am out for dinner twice this week, which I am really looking forward to. Firstly tonight I am meeting up with some old friends. We all used to work together at least two jobs ago, and thanks to Facebook we’re all still in touch regularly, despite Charles now living in Sweden and Dan in […]
Meal planning Monday – 17 March 2014
Last week was, quite frankly, a horror. I started with a long three days in Paris: as always it was a pleasure to spend time with colleagues and friends out there, but it was also exhausting, and I picked up a bug before I left. Being so tired when I returned to London, of course […]
Meal planning Monday – 10 March 2014
It’s a week which is going to have to go pretty much unplanned: I am in Paris with work on Monday to Wednesday, so at the mercy of Eurostar, the staff canteen, and whatever I can find near my hotel for dinner. Just looking at my diary, I am not sure I can plan anything as […]
Meal planning Monday – 3 March 2014
It’s that time of week again for meal planning Monday, and this week is quite an easy one for me because Pancake Day falls on Tuesday. Whoopee! Pancakes are one of my favourite things to eat, and this year I am planning a ham and cheese concoction for my savoury buckwheat galette, and then the […]
