Remember how most of you voted for the PC Black Label Fleur de Sel Caramels for me to review next? Well the stores were all out so I guess that was a hugely popular item. As a result I received the PC Black Label Chocolate Toffee Assortment instead with the other popular product you voted for: the Umami […]

Normally I would not dare touch the recipe for my favourite cinnamon buns but this year, I did! In two ways but I will talk about the second way later. The first way was to use buttermilk instead of skim. I was trying to ration the skim milk and had extra buttermilk so I figured, […]

When you read this post, it will become quite clear that I have never made mincemeat pies before. In fact there were a lot of “firsts” when it came to my experience of making these over the weekend. Although they might be called “instant” there was nothing easy or fast about them. Mincemeat pies are […]

My First Grog!

Actually this is honey grog but without the grog. A grog is usually an alcoholic beverage (usually containing rum) drunk by sailors with ingredients added to it.
