I picked up these cute little tomato and apple oven mitts a few weeks back from a charity shop.  I don't know if I will ever use them, as they are quite small. Last month I had a few days off from work as I have loads of annual leave to take by March.  So I have been home alone most of last week, indulging in breakfast still in my PJs, but no vegetarian fry-ups.  Fry up are kept for weekends when I am with my husband.  No for me, its been cereal.  The first is Green Granola made with spirulina and coconut.  I have been meaning to make my own as I had been given a large packet of spirulina a couple of years back still waiting to be experimented with. But making my own Green Goddess Granola is still on the back burner as I was seduced by this packet. The other cereal which I did actually make was Parsnip Porridge doused generously with Goji Berry Powder and Seed Trail Mix.  It was rather splendid actually. The natural sweetness from the parsni...

We don't celebrate Easter in our home, no reason - we just don't.   We rarely purchase or eat chocolate shaped eggs, other than those that are shared in the workplace.  But we do occasionally eat free range eggs.   This Friday I thought I would share some egg cups in my home.  Now before I do, I must say, neither of us really do dippy eggs, but I do like kitchenalia and many of these egg cups were picked up mostly for aesthetic reasons, than for functional reasons.  First up, these farm animals shaped egg cups - hen, sheep and pig.  I did also have a cow, but it's head fell off and there was a crack in the cup itself so it was lobbed. Next I picked up these old fashioned egg cup holders from a charity shop with my mother in law a couple of years back when I moved back to Wales.  They weren't in great condition when I brought them home, and they are sadly deteriorating, but I do like them. I nicked this idea from Nigella Lawson, she had an e...

A few weeks ago, instead of going into the City of Cardiff for a day out, we decided to track down its Indoor Flea Market.   After a couple of wrong turns on the industrial estate, we found it.  Under its massive roofed building the market hosts over 60 eclectic stores.  Each stall is unique, selling goods ranging from antiques, retro, recycled, second hand, upcycled, and vintage goods.  Here are a selection of some the wierd and wonderful that caught my eye. Ah I recognise of of the ceramics here.  I have many of them at home and could have easily picked up some more from her, but I resisted.  I purchased a rather handsome German impractical jug-vase from this stall and a walking stick for hill-walking the forest behind our home.  Funnily enough whilst I was looking for links to the market, I spotted the German jug - vase that I purchased in THIS article, its in the corner on the very top shelf. See if you can spot it. I will showca...
