Noboddy Told Me!!!!!

That this photo of my New toy that I was ranting about in the previous post was missing did they??!! Tut Tut!! Well you are gonna see it now..........



Cute Eh?!!

This is this week's new purchase....



I LOVE it, well just as well really seeing as I have just bought it!! Nice isn't it!

It's a lovely day here today, really sunny and warm, but the ground is really wet so you cant do much outside, I have enough anyhow to be getting on with indoors, remember I showed you The Cupboard that I bought a few weeks ago at the Car Boot sale, well I have finally got around to painting it and so hopefully if I pull my finger out I can post a piccie of the finished result in the next day or two, I am painting it in a Beautiful 'China Blue' coloured paint, I don't normally go for Blues but I think that it is a nice clean fresh looking colour, and it wont be long before we are taking back down our heavy winter curtains, putting back up our fresh bright voiles and opening out our windows and letting the fresh clean bright air back into our homes will it!!! Can't wait!!

I have my son and his girlfriend, and my mum and dad coming for a meal on Thursday evening as it is my Son's 23rd Birthday...doesn't it make you feel soooo old when you say there age, well, especially when they are that age!!
I cant quite decide what to cook, we all love mushrooms except son's girlfriend, she says that they remind her of slugs!! Oh well, I think that I may do Pate for her and Mushrooms in a creamy mascarpone, spinach and garlic sauce with toasted ciabatta on a Bed of Salad for us to start, followed by Chicken Breast wrapped in Bacon and stuffed with Mushrooms (I did say we liked mushrooms!!) and Garlic Butter for main course, (yes, we like Garlic too!!) any suggestions on a desert? Something Chocolatie I think????

Anyway, cupboard isn't going to get done sat here waffling on is it?

Back soon!!

That coffee pot is gorgeous! I love it too :)

I thought it was me missing something on your last post, sorry! It's very nice. Can't wait to see the cupboard.

Your menu plan sounds nice, how about a big fat chocolate fudge cake for dessert? Or cheesecake?

I did think it was missing, but, er, forgot to mention. Looks fun! Love the polka jug. And the sound of your menu. I love mushrooms. Can I come too? ;-) Actually, we're cooking a special birthday meal this thursday...better get planning.

I Love the coffee pot and your menu sounds delicious. I have a mushroom hater in our house too - my husband. He will only eat them if the are smothered in brown sauce!

Kitty said...

Pardon my ignorance ... is it a phone?! I've never had a SE - I've heard good things about them though.

Hi Andrea
That pot is lovely. I would have bought it too!. I always find if you dont buy it, the majority of time you end up going back to buy it!.
My lad is 9 and I cant imagine him being 23, worried he wont want cuddles & kisses anymore!
Mushrooms yummy, I love them on toast for brekkie sometimes too

Look forward to seeing the cupboard. My fave choc pudding is - well, I love any chocolately pudding - but I most love those flourless cakes that sink and go all squidgy once you get them out of the oven (recipes in Delia Xmas, River Cafe cookbook and also, Nigella's cloud cake). I also love Jamie's chocolate pots... Yes, I am the chocolate expert!

Nice new toy! Have not got a clue how to use one of them. Do I detect a Cath Kidston quilt as the photo background? Lovely fabric. Great coffee pot too, I am not sure if I could sneak a oink item like that into the kitchen without my husband commenting. Did you get my reply email because the address looks like your website? xx
