Boxing clever: Made in Oldstead At Home

It was the hottest day of the year so far and we’d already decided to eat our anniversary dinner in our underwear. Trouble was the dinner was planned for tomorrow and it’d been out for delivery sin…

The very question we were about to pose. So pleased they keep it as a special treat.

What a fabulous, relaxing place.

Might be small beans in the scheme but, yes, they're in-your-face beans & can't help but feel as big as. Getting beyond the parental "I'm fine", when you sense it isn't, is tough. Sorry you're going through that.

Bore da!
Wales here - wish we could help but, sad to say, those doughnuts are a scenic 5hr drive away.

Both irresistible & expressing herself very clearly from the start.

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and although I know the Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese that’s #RecipeOfTheDay doesn’t exactly fit the bill, it’s such a favourite, and I thought it could just possibly find a place at the table! www.nigella.com/recipes/swee...

Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese

I’m just going to say it: this is the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever eaten. I don’t feel it’s boastful to say as much, as the greatness lies not in any brilliance on my part, but in the simple tastes ...

Looks & sounds just delicious! Mushroom with tarragon is one of our favorite pairings.

I have three blocks of tofu in the fridge, so I think I'll have to make another batch of this amazing Gochujang tofu bacon.

It's gorgeous stuff! Serve it for breakfast, in a wrap, a bagel or sandwich or just nibble on it. Believe me you will!

That tube's our-sized😁😁

That's really annoying. Might it be a gaijin issue? Had a bit of that. Guide refused to respond to MNL in Japanese, even though he speaks it. MNL persisted++ & the guide eventually gave in.

The only nighly convo among tour visitors at the bar centred around how much (or how little) they, their table mates & "him over there" had paid for their stay. Nothing at all about the lovely island's environment, culture or even the food

Oh Kavey, what a thoroughly disheartening experience. Can empathise, ended up in a similarly tour op favoured hotel on one of our wine trip. Felt that way on arrival but there a few nights & fortunately found our gang had some work arounds. Hope it's the last such for you.

Thank you!😊

We've everything in the house but apricots (easily fixed with a walk to the local shops). Leftover candied peel was looking for a purpose!

Yup, this season Mme will be mostly* scoping the details for such buzz words & downsizing.

*In the exceptional circumstances when she'll consider buying clothes, having sworn purchasing abstinence.

2nd gen immigrants held slightly less positive views than 1st gen immigrants when asked about the better/worse effects of immigration on the economy, cultural life & the country as a place to live, however, their views were still more positive compared to those born in the UK to UK-born parents.
