Forever Summer may actually work
2:26pm Wednesday 5th November 2008
Bargains on fish is one good reason for actually visiting a supermarket instead of ordering online (we order online most weeks - once you've got a standard list of items you habitually buy it couldn't be easier and it means we can have Waitrose produce on the Wirral!).
Time to take stock
2:14pm Tuesday 9th September 2008
Did you have a roast chicken for Sunday dinner by any chance? Following the trend for not wasting food and avoiding preservatives, next weekend try making some stock...
Simple Salad
11:28pm Thursday 31st July 2008
Spur of the moment (or should it be 'quick it's not pouring' moments) BBQs are what's best about summer.
Comments (0)The best chocolate cupcakes.
12:48am Friday 18th July 2008
This week I'm baking cup cakes. I'm not talking about dry, mean little patty cakes of vanilla essence flavour, jazzed up with sickly sweet icing. Nor anything with preservatives, these are cup cakes you can in 20 minutes...
Contemplating a take away tonight?
2:40pm Friday 4th July 2008
I hate to think how many calories are in my favourite, Wirral Tandoori's Chicken Tikka Korma - the freshly ground cashew nuts are worth it though, so Wok Nutrition is a good option, using only natural ingredients and watching the oil and fat content of each dish, their Singapore Style Fried Rice is great and their Sweet and Sour Chicken was light and not cloyingly sweet or gloopy! Wok Nutrition is opposite Matalan, on Bromborough Village Road. A few shops along is our favourite Indian restaurant, Wirral Tandoori. Their curries are fresh with excellent quality ingredients and were perfect for a Euro 2008 half-time collection meal, plus you even get a free Cobra beer.
Wirral...the location, location, location
9:21am Wednesday 11th June 2008
Bromborough hosted the brilliant Folk on the Coast festival last weekend, with guitar and songwriting workshops, craft fair and quality live acts, you couldn't really ask for more from your local Social Club! It was great weather too, with the Jive group who dance at the O.C., where the festival was held, doing demonstrations dancing wildly in the sunshine.
End of the Season
10:24am Thursday 22nd May 2008
The change of the seasons is still a novelty for me. In New Zealand, spring and autumn really blend into summer, especially as my hometown Auckland is sub-tropical, requiring a meagre two-bar heater over winter. The seasonal changes here in the Wirral are so noticeable - all the trees lining the road are vivid green and the blossom on the cherry and apple trees, plus the email I've received from a local farm shop - Asparagus season has begun!
Gladiators are back, but are we ready?
9:31am Tuesday 13th May 2008
Firstly, I have to admit that when I watched the first episode of the classic UK family series Gladiators this weekend we fast-forwarded through everything apart from the actual games. From this abridged version of the show, the essence of the show though really, I could see why Gladiators is such a cult hit. It's silly, violent, cheesy, competitive, not sure I'd say fun (the pyramid challenge posed major Health & Safety risks) and reminded me of the clips of 'My Dad is better than Your Dad' I'd seen on the American TV clip show The Soup, E! where Fathers throw their Velcro clad children against massive dart boards, amongst other things, to prove they're the best.
Wikipedia and The Apprentice
2:59pm Friday 9th May 2008
It didn't come up to Wikipedia scrutiny, but Bromborough is definitely a foodie destination, if not in itself then as part of the overall culinary delights on offer in Wirral. Apart from the claim that Bromborough may be the birthplace of England, its Wikipedia entry is very sedate.
