Wow I’ve been really slack with the blogging – sorry about that. I probably still wouldn’t have got around to do anything here if my mum hadn’t bugged me – she’s a slave driver that one.
So….what’s been happening? Saturday was my 25th Birthday so as you can imagine there was lots of food, cake (cake isn’t food, it’s so special it has it’s OWN category!) and alcohol. Since I’m clearly very bad at this food blogging thing no pictures were taken whatsoever. Well…there for a few drunken phone pictures but you don’t really need to see them.
My in laws gave me some money as my birthday present, more in fact than they gave The Husband for his which I think is hysterical. Clearly as a daughter in law I am far more special than him. Above you can see one of my birthday money purchases. A new “take away” cup for my smoothies. I got one for The Husband too because that’s how good a wife I am 🙂 They were from Lakeland and were £3.99 each. A far better price than the branded ones you can get from Starbucks.
So obviously I don’t have many more photos to show you, but I fear for my health if I don’t put something here and entertain my mum, so for mum, here is this mornings breakfast:
The blue knife is another birthday money purchase, I really live the high life huh? My old knives were way past their best and no amount of sharpening was going to save them. I don’t have the money for an amazing set right now, so I’m building up one at a time. I figure while I’m at it – why not get pretty knives 😀 The Husband thinks I’m crazy but I don’t care.
The finished product:
MMMM Oats in a Jar. My new favourite food. Luckily peanut butter is so popular with my men that there is an empty jar every week. I just have to be careful The Nephew doesn’t throw it out in an attempt to tidy up – the horror! This was 50g oats (recommended serving but FAR too much!) 150ml water/100ml choc soya milk topped with some type of apple – it was red, that’s all I know. I managed to eat about 3/4 and gave the rest to The Husband to finish off.
