I hold my hands up, I need to attend Procrastinatiors Anonymous

Procrastination is, for me, a well honed skill.

Though not meaning to a few weeks have now passed and I have not completed a post. I have indeed been writing them but have not got round to actually completing one. I've even started a recipe and ideas journal and talking photos of everything food related for future blogs!

Sadly though my well exercised procrastination muscle has had a thorough workout. Life got in the way and every spare minute I've had has been taken up by doing everything but blogging and for that I am sorry.

So I am here throwing myself upon you mercy and begging of your forgiveness.

Am I forgiven? Yes? Good, phew! I've got so many things I want to share with you that I'm resisting posting the lot right here and now, but no, I will have to show a little restraint (for once). But not too much. I intend to post a quick blog as soon as I've finished this one.

Also as a way to spur myself on, and deny my procrastination gene satisfaction, I'm going to officially say that I'm going to post twice weekly. I'm not sure exactly which days this will be but I'm thinking Wednesday and Saturday.

I hope you enjoy the blogs I have to come and don't forget to leave me suggestions, requests and/or ideas for recipes, ingredients to hunt down and places to visit.

Till next time,
Steph x

I just have to tell you.... (Quicky blog)

Image
I just have to tell you about the gorgeous place I discovered on Monday. I was meeting a friend in the centre of Manchester for a good catch up and she suggested we visit a place called Home Sweet Home . Sadly I will admit I had never heard of this little gem and I was intrigued to see what they had to offer. When I walked in I was greeted by a member of staff at the bar as if I were an old friend (major brownie points from me) and was immediately made to feel welcome. As a person who worked in retail for almost 9 years customer service is a big thing for me and to be greeted in such a way I already knew this was going to be a winner. I scouted around the Labyrinthine bar looking for my friend, for every turn you made another little private nook and spacious cranny was discovered. At first glance it may look like a single shop front space but I urge you to go and explore, it's more spacious than I imagined.  I refer to Home Sweet Home ...

Rhubarb and loquat crumble

Image
In my garden I am lucky enough to have an abundance of rhubarb. So after picking some stalks, rather than make your bog standard rhubarb crumble (not that there is anything wrong with that), I thought I'd change it up and add some delicious loquats. A few years ago I'd never heard of loquats until my local green grocers suddenly produced them. My cousin who had grown up in Zimbabwe became very excited when she saw them and bought a bag full. When handed one to eat I was presented with a small fruit that slightly resembled an apricot. It has soft flesh and a very slight fur on the skin. When you bite into it you find 5 or so glistening dark brown stones reminiscent of a lychee stone. with each surrounded in a papery membrane. I cannot accurately describe its flavour as it is totally unique. It is soft like a ripe peach or nectarine but can range from syrup sweet to teeth achingly sour. If anyone has ever tasted a sharron fruit/perssimon  you will know how unique its...

A crisis of confidence

Hi there, It's been a very long while since I've posted but hopefully I can now rectify that and get back to posting more frequently.      My absence has been down to a few reasons that largely boil down to the same thing. I have been ill and have taken quite a long while (and still working on) getting back on the horse as it were. As part of my illness I've had a massive crisis in confidence. The idea of writing out my thoughts, ideas and recipes for others to read at first was so very exciting, and still very much is. But then it became very daunting and I think I have put too much pressure on myself.      So, here is to a fresh start. I'm feeling much better and with that am getting back into my writing of recipes and general foodie waffle again. Hurrah! Take care, Steph x
