#WearnKitchenMakeover - Cooking on Gas!

We have an oven back - oh gosh I'd missed having an over - I was starting to go a little bit crazy - especially since our good intentions to start with - raclette, slow cookers and by week 3 it was microwave meals and takeaway. I'll be happy not to see another pizza box till NYE (Where Pete is off playing a gig and I get to look after the boy)

So, we have a 'new' oven (and by new we mean brought off ebay for £150 from an angry man in Wallsall) - it's a might beast of a thing - but it's glorious. It's also blimmin' efficient (which you wouldn't expect if you'd have paid £1K new for it)

Of course, it would be that on the Friday night it was installed we spent so long starting to put things away we actually ended up getting a takeaway - because our planned toad in the hole would have taken too long (and when we had it for Sunday lunch it was amazing)- but the cake I baked the next morning for Clandestine Cake Clubs Sweet Shopped themed event was a great success.



Here's to many more!!

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes...
