I have decided to add a new page to my blog, one for all my favorite Recipes.

Don’t be afraid, they wont make you all fat, because some are from my Slimming world cook books , not that you would know by the taste.

So do take a look and try some of the Recipes , be good if you could leave a Recipe or two for me aswell.

 

A few more blogs that are worth reading…

Finding life hard

Or so I thought

Smack dab in the middle

Chocolate muffins , irresistible and with less sugar and fat than standard chocolate cake.

9oz self raising flour

half teasp of bicarbonate of soda

half teasp of salt

4 tablsp unsweetened cocoa power

5oz white granulated sugar

1 egg

8fl oz milk

3 fl oz corn oil

1 teasp vanilla essence.

First prepare muffin tins and preheat oven to 190/200 C

In a large bowl sift together flour,bicarb,salt and coca powder. stir in the sugar.

In another bowl, beat the egg ,with a fork, stir in the milk,oil and vanilla essence.

Pour all wet ingredients into dry, and stir until combined, no dry flour should be visible.

Fill muffin cases 3/4 full and sprinkle tops with chocolate drops or nuts.Bake for 20-25 min’s.

( I put the chocolate drops or nuts into the muffin mixture rather on top )

Now enjoy !!!

I see that a 33ft long and 990lb Giant Squid has been caught in the Antarctic waters.

I would most likely have found that easier to sell , instead of the 11 boxes of Herring Milts I had try and sell today, for those that don’t know herring Milts, also known as soft roe, are in fact the male reproductive glands and their contents….. yes seminal fluid.

Why any one would want to eat them i do not know.I confess to buying them a few times, cooking them but have never been able to eat any, they smell and look disgusting and the texture is indescribable.

Best to stick to some of the other nice fish I sell , like Trout, Salmon, Monkfish and my favourite Seabass. I wonder if I could tempt the lobster who blogs?

Every year just a few miles away from where I live, a 70 acre field gets planted up with 51 million Tulips.

Its an incredible sight when they are all out in flower.

large sections ,all of one colour followed by another colour and another colour,like a huge rainbow .

You have to be quick if you want to see them because they are not grown for the flowers but for the Bulbs so they dead head the flowers.

Yesterday while out walking , we saw the fields all planted up , with plants covered for protection from bad weather and any last frosts I expect.

Later on in the year I will go back and take some photos when the Tulips are all out in Flower, it certainly will be worth coming back for a look.

 I wonder how long it will be before Natural England close Dersingham Bog to the public.

 Dersingham bog is a Nature reserve near Wolferton , and part of  the Sandringham estate. it covers almost 400 acres and is home to many ground nesting birds such as Lapwing, Stone chat, Linnet ,Woodlark, Nightjar, Meadow Pit and Shelduck.

As the reserve is now attracting more and more ground nesting birds they have put up Signs urging visitors to keep dogs on a short lead and not to stray off the paths between  February and September, as sadly the two don’t mix.

Natural England objected to a proposal for a path along the sea defense ,which would connect Kings Lynn to Hunstanton, along with the RSPB ,so given time I expect they will object to visitors at this Nature Reserve too.

 

 

 

On our walk today we came across huge piles of the above vegetables, the smell was quiet disgusting !!
