I made a cake. Polly hated it. You may or may not. Ingredients 180g bourbon biscuits, blitzed. This was half a pack, less one – you know, to check they were ok. 75g butter, melted. 750g mascarpone. I actually used … Continue reading

Advent calendar: 7. Polly is thirteen months old
Today is Polly’s thirteen month birthday. I thought this would be as good a time as any to take stock of what she’s up to, and her awesome skills. I suddenly note that she has not had her one year … Continue reading
Advent calendar: 6. Carnabananarama sauce
Last night the mister went to a supermarket on his way home to pick up a few things. While he was there, he saw a tub of carbonara sauce and decided he fancied some of that for tea. Of course … Continue reading
