Don’t worry – I am not about to stun you with my gloriously flexible new body because I have religiously been following some Yoga Hottie for the last five weeks! Let’s get real here .. some days its a struggle to lift my bahookie from the chair and achieve ANYTHING physical! BUT I am not […]
You have more than you think …..
So here we are – preparing for the long-haul. Sadly it looks that although we were pretty quick at going into lock-down it may take many weeks or months before life goes back to any semblance of normal. So – I don’t know about you but that means getting my act together and focusing once […]
We are not all in the same boat!
Its been a funny weekend here at MFin3 HQ – as at the weekend we kind of “down tools” a little and have more of those “deeper” conversations with friends and family and colleagues. So instead of “Hi Mum – you still alive? Gotta run and cook for the boys!” or “Hi Phil – have […]
Coriander Lime Rice – Buddha Bowls
I don’t know about you but heading into the fifth weeks of the lockdown we are beginning to feel a little less dependant on our comfort foods and are beginning to think that something a little zesty on the palette would be pretty darn good. So tonight we are having a “picky tea” .. a […]
International Media Star .. from Home!
I’m not sure if you guys have caught up as to where I am in my career at the moment? Having fought back from being on the very edge of the precipice in the 2008 I have slowly set out and crafted a life that really does make my heart sing. I accepted an offer […]
Rainbows of Hope!
One of our lovelies spotted one of these on my facebook feed – a little 30 minute crochet project that I made for the wee ones 12th birthday that he had in lock-down last week. And a request was made – could I write up the “recipe” for making a neat circle so that they […]
Homemade HobNobs
I have been making these for years. They are our go to “treat box biscuit” and the boys have many memories of picnic snacks and packed lunch nibbles. I’d like to claim that the recipe is mine – but its not .. in fact most of the recipes I post here on the blog are […]
Learning – to keep you sane!
OK – so last week I did something pretty daft! Although if you have been hanging around with me for any length of time you will know that “pretty daft” is the T-shirt I wear on a daily basis .. its kind of my Standard Operating Procedure. After a few days of feeling utterly depressed […]
Hot Cross Buns – The 60 minute edition
I know I could have got myself organised and made “Artisan Sourdough Hot Cross buns” … but to be honest I have kind of lost my creativity Mojo over the last few days. Nothing special happening – at least nothing that marks me out as “special” .. just a slowly dawning realisation that for our […]
This – this is Love!
Normally .. wel back in the “days before” this little street in a little medieval town in a little region in a little country would be brim full of people. Neighbours criss-crossing the street and central reservation to get to the corner shop for bread and milk and newspapers. From around the corner hidden on […]
