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 […]
FollowWe 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 […]
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 […]
On Food and Focus!
So we are meandering into our third week of quarantine .. trying desperately to make this week feel different for the little red-head as he is “officially” on Easter Break.

What’s your Word?
Every year I am challenged to come up with one word to use that signifies the most important focus of my year. Tempting fate – well 2020 was to be all about the wee red head and I traveling the planet and hanging out with our great trainers and drinking in their culture. Yeah – […]
Weep if we must!
Cooried in a big blanket and out in my garden appreciating the blue skies and the sun that has risen this Saturday. Thinking on the days in the future when we can look back and remember these times. Wondering how I will feel the first time I go back into a fully stocked supermarket, the […]
Sourdough Crepes
If you have ever wondered how the fancy restaurants manage to make these lacy, fine and slightly tangy crepes in their posh deserts .. then here is one of the trade secrets … the inclusion of sourdough starter as a base for the batter. If you have ever eaten proper french crepes you will recognise […]
Sourdough English Muffins
For our transatlantic pals – these may look weird to you because “Muffins” in other countries are fluffy, sweet, mushroom shaped puffballs that you eat with a coffee for breakfast or or a snack. English Muffins are a different beastie . They are dense, yeasty pucks of goodness that you spilt in half, toast till […]
