Monday November 14th Monday morning wasn’t anywhere near as painful as it could have been for some odd reason and when the alarm went off at 9 am we both got up cheerfully enough and wandered down to breakfast. The IFT breakfast’s are not the biggest spread you’ll ever find but – and this is…

Travel 2011 – Hong Kong, Macau, Day 1
Time to blog (or even ramble I think) about the 2011 Macau trip (and time for my audience to run away screaming perhaps). Anyway… Saturday November 12th/Sunday November 13th We set off late on Saturday evening, flying out at 21:05 with those very fine folk from Air New Zealand. Now long haul flying is never…
Food 2011 – Recipes (Oxtail with Rioja and Chorizo)
Saturday, 8th October 2011 – Recipes (Oxtail with Rioja and Chorizo) Sometimes you have to dig into your cookery books, especially when you have as many as I do… I cooked this for one of our weekend meals. It was amazingly tasty… Oxtail with Rioja and Chorizo Ingredients: For the initial cooking 3 tbsp olive…
Food 2011 – Recipes (Jam! Lots of Jam!)
I’m up to the armpits (not literally, thankfully) in greengage jam now! 25 jars of the stuff after someone at work gave me a massive bag of greengages. It’s amazing how sticky you can get just trying to make something as simple as jam. Now, the question is what to do with all of it!?
Travel 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium
Thursday, 30th June/Monday, 4th July 2011 – Nurburg, Adenau, Jezus-Eik, Germany, Belgium It occurred to me that I never did finish talking about Monza, and it’s too far away now. So instead I’ll go into detail about the last two trips, knowing that we have another two over the next three weeks. We started July…
Food 2011 – Artisan, Hessle
Sunday, 22nd May 2011 – Artisan, Hessle It wasn’t the easiest of weekends. We spent the early part of Friday morning failing to solve Elaine’s bathroom dilemma by proposing more questions than solutions before finally heading to Hull to see what’s been happening with the house since January when the work started to put it…
Food 2011 – La Mirabelle, Harrogate
Thursday, 19th May 2011 – La Mirabelle, Harrogate Thursday I ended up working anyway in the morning, and in the afternoon we drove up to North Yorkshire to visit friends and go out for dinner at La Mirabelle in Harrogate. This was something we’d planned from sometime back in January when we heard they were…
Food 2011 – Roger Hickman’s, Norwich
Saturday, 14th May 2011 – Roger Hickman’s, Norwich A weekend at Snetterton is not a cheerful thing, and therefore if we have to race there, then there has to be some sort of balance to the weekend, usually in the shape of the best meal we can find. This time, after a brief search of…

Travel 2011 – Monza
Wednesday, 13th/Thursday, 14th April 2011 – Monza, Como, Brunate Wednesday was all about the travelling, and it was late in the evening when we made it to Milan Linate and then spent some time trying to round up our hire car. That got interesting, largely because Avis’ website is not quite as informative as it…
