If there’s one constant in life it’s that there’s always a pack of turkey burgers in a protein pack. If there’s one other constant in life it’s that I’m a bit weird about burgers – I have to confess I’ve never eaten a fast food burger; they look weird and unappealing and lord only knows…

Staging a January Rebellion!!!
January in some ways is my least favourite month; not because of the weather, I happen to like the cold; not even the darkness as I’m always filled with the optimism of spring knowing that the days are getting longer. I have been known to coin the phrase “there’s a grand stretch in the evenings…
Chicken and Leek Pie (Amended)

It was a lazy Sunday kinda day today, the chap and I went for a walk, got rained on and then decided the best course of action was not to bother leaving the house again. I like to break out the slow cooker on days like this, when it’s hot, so you don’t want to have the oven on all day but you still want something satisfying. If you read my previous blog you’ll see that I had a beef massaman earmarked for Monday dining but hey ho I’m adaptable like that so out the slow cooker came.
