I made this enormous cake to be shared between my colleagues on the last few days of work before Christmas. But, as I mentioned before, the weather turned bitterly cold that week and the snow came down so heavily that we got not one, not two but three whole days off school. That left just me and [...]

Merry Christmas
Posted in Christmas, Scotland on December 24, 2009 | 18 Comments »
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m sitting at my kitchen table. My holidays should officially have started only just today but there’s been so much snow and ice around that school’s been closed all week.

Baked Apricots
Posted in Food, Recipes on December 8, 2009 | 19 Comments »
Baked dried apricots, I should clarify. Being too chilly to grow round here and not being a fruit that travels well, it’s nigh on impossible to find a good apricot in Scotland at the height of summer, let alone in the depths of winter. The dried ones are very nice indeed but just recently I’ve discovered a [...]
