Happy Birthday to me....

Today is my Birthday and I'm all alone and feeling a little sorry for myself. Hubby is away and so far, not even a card hidden anywhere. I was meant to be travelling with him but he changed his mind and didn't want me to go. To make matters worse he will be visiting my Californian sister and family on the day of my birthday and kindly shared the fun emails of what they will be doing together. (Rub it in why don't you.) Gutted is putting it mildly.    :'(

Luckily google knew and wished me happy birthday which was pretty cool. I even got all excited when the post came but just junk mail and a bill. Deep joy! In fact the bill is an Import Duty and VAT charge for a present someone sent me at Christmas. After numerous calls to DHL a month or so ago it was agreed I didn't need to pay it, and now the day after I have thrown all the paperwork away I receive this. And yes the bin men have been..... Isn't that always the way?

Facebook is pretty good too in the fact it sends birthday reminders to everyone. I'm getting numerous birthday posts from many friends I haven seen in years which is just lovely. Im so grateful to Facebook myself reminding me when its my friends birthdays, I'm such a forgetful bunny!


I'm sitting with my feet up enjoying my breakfast, coffee and some chocolate enjoying old movies on the Talking pics TV channel. The movie is called Behemoth and its just fab with its old style monsters, camera angles, clothing, sets and even with its old stereotypes. Love it!


I can't even be bothered to make some 'cheer me up' pancakes, so I made a healthy breakfast Burrito. Really fast to make and devoured in seconds. I gobbled it up so fast I didn't take a picture, so here is a picture of a burrito I found on the internet. lol

Breakfast Burrito

  Make Guacamole (only need half this amount)
     - One avocado mashed with 1 chopped tomato and spring onion.
        Add salt, pepper and dash of lemon and if brave enough, some tabasco

  Scramble some egg in the microwave.
     - In a microwaveable cup add 1 egg, salt, pepper, dash of milk & micro for about 1 minute
        (depending on your size of egg and microwave wattage)

  Make health cheats sour cream
    - 2 tbsp Total fat free yogurt to 1 tsp lemon juice

  Warm your tortilla wrap for 10 seconds in the microwave.

  Assemble all the components, wrap and enjoy.
   Saving half the guacamole for dipping later with your bottle of bubbly.
   lol




Although in the time its taken me to type this, a Moon Pig delivery of flowers just turned up from hubby, I'm still pretty upset with him. But as always.... I will keep smiling and will eventually let it go.

Love and light peeps

PS - The flowers are really beautiful and I've forgiven him already. Not because he sent flowers, which is a miracle for him, as this is the only the 5th time he brought me flowers in 20 years!! Its because I love him and I know he loves me. And at the end of the day thats all that really matters. Don't do you think?

Bread in my Thermomix and my new Ninja Foodi Smart lid

Image
  I have found it quite difficult to find recipes for this new machine, even the recipe book is a bit confusing so thought I would have a Julie moment and post a recipe a day on my blog.  What is a Julie moment? It is from that fabulous film ' Julie & Julia ' where Julie recreates recipes from Julia's cookbook and blogs about it. It's a great film and if you haven't seen it already give it a look-see. However please note Julie Powell is a great writer and to be completely honest I am not really a great blog writer, more bog writer, but I will do my best for you all. First I had to clean all the parts as requested in the instructions. Oh my, what a pain that was and I was starting to regret my purchase before I had even cooked anything! After cleaning the seal in the lid I couldn't get it back in its place.  It was like wrestling a mini boa constrictor through chicken wire while looking up under a car.  It took me 15 minutes and a grazed knuckle, due to a sha

Good bye and Thank you Mr Pepper

Mr Pepper - Headmaster of Hayling School Paid my respects today to the best Head Master I knew. He never made me feel I was just going to school, he made me feel like I was part of the school, part of something special and he always made me laugh. He was firm and fair but more importantly, he put children first, raising funds and spirits with school plays and the infamous Halloween Fair where we sold all the things we made throughout the year whether Mum and Dad wanted them or not. (I loved my Salt and Pepper holder!) Today I saw, and also thanked Mr Robinson my Maths teacher for having faith i n me when numbers just jumped around on the page. Mr Stretch for his kindness and Miss Edney for inspiring my art. Mr Hepworth Taylor for helping me get my Human biology O'level so I could become a nurse, (however I later found out I pass out if I see  blood so that never happened) Miss Drew who luckily forgot (or kindly did not mention) I used to find any excuse not to do cro

Bamboo, Chocolate cake and Ninja review

Image
Having had my Ninja Foodi MAX 15-in-1 SmartLid Multi-Cooker with Smart Cook System 7.5L for a week or so now and feel I am able to to give it some sort of review.  I have cooked a few meals, cakes and bread in it and pretty much pleased. The Steam Bake function makes my cake and bread fluffy and, dare I say the word, moist. I have also tried to cook crispy kale and to be perfectly honest i’m not so sure it’s worth the effort, as it took quite some time to pick out all the crispy kale from the fan in the lid.  The steam function was interesting too, as the vegetables were eventually cooked taking twice the time started in the manual, and the veg was charred. Not sure if that was meant to happen, but certainly not what I expected steam meal to be. But I may have used the wrong setting.  I must also add I have used my Ninja to reheat meals by heating them fast in the pot using the sauté function and then switching to slow cook. I checked with a cooking probe that the meal was above 80 deg
