Carluccios

My lovely friend Vicky and I had a lovely natter, putting the world to rights over coffee and nibbles last weekend at Carluccio's in Bristol. I'd thoroughly recommend it for a mid ay treat.

Naughty Brekkie

Aint nothing like a naughty breakfast to kick start a gloomy day.

The Statement Necklace

I have recently been spending a bit more time exploring the wonders of ebay and just couldn't resist this bold, ethnic inspired necklace.

Beerd

With my friend Georgia recently taking up residence in Cotham, we are now on a mission (be it rather slow) to get to know the area and try out the local eateries and drinking establishments. Last night, it was the turn of Beerd. A cute, cosy, cafe style restaurant specialising in beers (it's a Bath Ales pub) and pizza. A great combo really and with the tempting offer of two for one pizzas on a Monday, it really just had to happen. The pizza's were tasty (although a bit mean on the chili) and an offering of basil oil, chili oil and garlic mayo was gladly accepted. A fab, budget friendly place to go with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, I'll definitely be back.

Chutney

I had been saying all over the Summer that I was going to start making Chutney. What with our bumper tomato harvests of 2013 and my general love of condiments, it just had to happen at some point. I was pretty pleased with the results when I finally got around to it as Autumn came. A spicy, sweet tomato chutney which is now almost finished. Time to make another I think...
