Tulips in the window!

€3.99 in Tesco, sure where else would you be going with these beauties? I put them on the windowsill yesterday, the buds were closed but within an hour of being in the sun they opened out fully to greet the day. Simple, uplifting and gorgeous.

Cooking Adventures

I've decided to give you some pictures of the stuff I make at home sometimes for myself - I'm out sick from work at the moment so I have to entertain myself somehow, so rambling on this blog seems the best way to remedy my boredom.

So I made some springs rolls last week. I'm a coeliac, and I'm allergic to eggs, so a lot of the time I have to improvise and be creative about making things that are traditionally packed full of both, eg springs rolls, pastries, cakes, various pasta creations. Also really bold things like onion rings etc. It requires some creativity and a willingness to eat creations that turn out kinda gross now and then - but I love that, and there's nothing more fun for me than being up in the middle of the night experimenting with batters and cakes that I can eat!

Baby Animals being cute

Not to be too fluffy bunny or anything...but these photos and videos make me happy.

I remember reading the Run Swift, Run Free book series as a kid about a family of foxes and far from making me want to make sure foxes were kept safe, I really wanted to find an injured one and make it mine.

But here are pictures of baby animals:

and here's a video of some baby sloths in an orphanage - they're bizarre looking creatures aren't they? They don't look real, they remind me of something from Labyrinth.

Sloth Babies!

Sometimes I feel guilty I'm a meateater - then a big tasty lamb chop lands on my plate and the guilt disappears. Om nom nom.

Ack!

I have been a terrible blogger lately - the truth is I had these great intentions of posting up pictures of my cooking adventures. Unfortunately I kept forgetting to take photos of the finished products because the second thy were out of the oven or the wok I started eating them.

Here's a photo of some lovely flowers I put up in my house last week when a special someone was visiting me - look how pretty they are! I love the little vase also:


My next post will have pictures of home-made spring rolls - I also bought some tofu the other day so I'm going to try some experiments with that. If any of the 2 people who might possibly read this within the next 10 years have any tips or tricks or yummy recipes with Tofu let me know. :) I'm looking to expand my veggie repertoire!
