Yummy…..
Just got back from a trip south. Met up with father-in-law. Ate too much fast food. When I got home, my Amazon order was in the mail box. Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. I have been watching the TV program with interest. Interesting to see that some people consider a french fry to be a vegetable!!! Mind blowing that the kids eat such crap each day. There are no meals at my son’s school and I make my son’s lunches myself. Try to make them as healthy as I can.
Jamie’s book is all about learning to cook simple but healthy meals. They don’t take long and he explains everything step by step. I just made his Bolognese Sauce and my son is still raving about it. It had carrots, celery and mushrooms in it and I served it on wholewheat spaghetti. We had a mixed lettuce side salad. Jesse cleared his plate. I even ate my salad and I don’t eat raw anything as a rule. I have my own recipe for bolognese sauce but I think Jamie’s is probably healthier. I don’t have anybody to teach his recipe’s too so perhaps somebody reading this will make one from Jamie’s website and let me know how they got on. The easiest of all is Classic Tomato Spaghetti . Add some shrimp for a great added extra.
We all need to eat a lot healthier than we do. When I read the labels on some frozen or tinned food, I am shocked at the additives in all of the food. We don’t need to feed this shit to our kids or ourselves. Go Jamie Oliver!!!

The temperature is about 8c. Often we are around -25C at this time of year. I am melting in my office.
We were asked to stock a new designer. These patterns are adorable and really well written. They are for babies or reborn dolls.

Awoke this morning to a thick fog. When it began to life, the trees were covered in thick frost. Really pretty.

And also a photo of our wonderful rescue Shepherd, Max. He has clearly had a rough life but now he is going to have a wonderful one. I love him to bits as you can tell.

Learnt that Blogger is ending its ftp support. I like my blog residing on my own server so that is the end of my relationship with Blogger. Last time I tried Wordpress, it seemed pretty hostile. This time seems completely different.
Please update any links that pointed to my old blog.
