Georgie – I’m a bad bad girl

January 24, 2012

I’ve failed – TOTALLY failed to get my ‘Insanity’ under way. (See my last blog). I think I might be in the process of – how do you say – taking on to much and burning the candle at both ends? Having pledged to start the ‘Insanity 60 day workout’ last week, I haven’t.  In [...]

Zar – Recipe – Warm peaches with creamy ricotta and rosewater syrup

January 24, 2012

I made this on New Years Eve and it was scrumptious. You can make it all in advance, cook the peaches before dinner starts and then leave them out at room temperature. Keep the ricotta cream in the fridge. I realize this is more of a summery dish but if you’re in the middle of [...]

Zar – Is it January again?!

January 20, 2012

Well, the biggest thing I have to currently report is my waistline. Having had a wonderful holiday with Mum and Dad, I have very few clothes that I can fit into. Yikes!!

January 17, 2012

6 am this morning. Where am I? Out walking with two dogs. One leaping ahead, one being dragged on a lead (my parents’ dog, Bridie – very unkeen to do ANYTHING before breakfast) and quite frankly I don’t blame her…. It was freezing cold, I had a headache, not enough sleep and was dragging this [...]

Zar – Recipe – Sweet potato and leek frittata

January 8, 2012

I made this yesterday using items which needed using up from the vegie drawer. You can really use anything in a fritatta and the other really great thing about them is that they keep to have for another meal. 2 leeks, sliced (dark green ends only, we had used the rest for our Xmas dinner) [...]
