Congratulations and Celebrations

First things first -

Gaz has proposed to Laura- and she said yes. wooh! Wedding fever all round (more on that in a second).

Congratulations to you both. Yeah!!

Secondly - Happy Birthday Evie.

Evie is 2 today. so, lots of love to you sweetie xx (and yes, I'm a naughty aunt and your card will be late and you won't get your present till I come down and see you, your mother, and your new baby sister - Mae in a few weeks. But I promise to spoil you all when I do)

Finally. If a shiny blue envelope plopped through your door in the last few days you'll know this already. If it hasn't, it's not because we don't love you, but we've totally run out of room for people (who knew we were this popular)

Just before Christmas, Pete and I decided to move from a wedding to being a far off distant possibility to being an actual date / event. It turns out Liverpool registrars are super organised so before we had chance to ponder it or tell anyone what were planning we had a date and a receipt. The date is May 26th 2007, in our lovely city of Liverpool.

We're very excited and very pleased at the speed and ease it's all coming together. So far pretty much everything is booked / sorted out.

Other then weddingingy stuff we've been playing lots oif lego Star Wars and teaching has started again. I've has a 3 day weekend - which has been lovely but it was due to the fact we were evacuated form work on Thursday due to high winds - Less lovely.

The Fish Graveyard

I suppose I should update you on the fish - we've currently got 3 Isambard*, Nietzsche , Vince - they seem fine. The extreme cold did a few in and they probably need some proper TLC. Anyway - Pete and I were trying to recall other fish we'd had over the years so I started scanning the blog for fish related posts and I came across the fish graveyard from an old bit of my website that still floating around the tubes of the internet... So here it is - in memory of of the valiant pets of old. And for the ones that don't have little grave markers (or dates) Darnell Bertrand Pushkin Heisenburg I should possibly make a marker for the tomb of the unknown goldfish because I'm sure we've forgotten one... .. time for some more fish? Any ideas for names?? *We were slightly uncertain for a while if it was Heisenburg or Isambard that had survived

Tofu Recipe Round Up

More for my own benefit then anything else I'm going to round up my favourite go-to weeknight tofu recipes. This is different from my pinterest board which is full of things I haven't necessarily tried yet but look yummy. Vegan Tofu Taco Crumbles Vietnamese Fried Tofu w/ Tomato Sauce – Dau Sot Ca Chua  (I airfry the tofu for this one) I also like to slather it in BBQ sauce and bake it for about 40 mins with peppers and onions before adding it to wraps with some salad. I've also found it's a great substitute for paneer in things - it's not quite there but it's close oh, and if I do need to press it, and I haven't got time (which is almost always) I used the microwave method from this chirpy little video

Great British Bake Off 2012 - Episode 3

Dammit, I saw a Gbbo spoiler on twitter, so I know who was booted out... But anyway, catching up.. Contestants Victoria is a little odd, I bet she's a member of the local WI, or maybe she thinks she's above them, I don't know, I'm sure she's lovely, but. Can't warm to her. I love the vicars wife, sarah jane, and her lucky Pastry knife. I'm finding Kathyrn a bit odd, I've seen people like that camping, and that shot of her in a gilet explains a lot. The lads are lovely, especially last weeks Star baker, maybe... Ok, here's my crib sheet for the identikit blokes: PE Teacher - Stuart Scottish one - James. the other one, umm, Peter... Challenges Signature - tart tatin, I've had hit and misses with these, I love the idea of a savoury one, never though of that, especially taken with the pear and blue cheese one. I have however made plenty of rough puff pastry - miles better then the frozen stuff, although that has its uses. There's a interesting m...
