Well, maybe not quite when this photo was taken - it was still very frosty some mornings! But my cats once again took up residence on the bedroom windowsill to soak up the sunshine, thus stating that Spring was officially on the way in! About time too, they both agreed. I just want to add… Continue reading Spring Has Sprung

Elise Estrada – I Be That (played on Hellcats episode God Must Have My Fortune Laid Away)
In the middle-ish of the latest Hellcats episode is a toga party and during that party they sing 2 distinct songs. One is "Shout" (which everyone must know!) and the other, played in the middle of Shout, was something I hadn't heard before but instantly liked! It has a very clubby vibe to it.

Chinese New Year: Mushroom And Water Chestnut Steamed Buns
This is a recipe I've wanted to try for a while but have been saving it for Chinese New Year. Mushrooms and I have a very shaky relationship - I love them but they don't love me. Or rather, they used to love me until I turned about 17 and then suddenly gained an allergy… Continue reading Chinese New Year: Mushroom And Water Chestnut Steamed Buns
