One of the reasons I love getting a veg box is the exciting veg every week - but it's kinda helpful to have recipes themed to the boxes's content. Dec - Flamiche (Belgian Leek Pie) Exciting news, well, no not really, but we've had to add a 2nd binder, so now we have 2 volumes. The photography on them is very pretty (see also #246 ) 

Ok, So maybe not a full year - but last July I blogged about our attempts to keep healthy - and in the intervening time I've kind of worked out what I like doing. I mentioned last July I enjoyed the boxing games on the EA game enough that I did make it to some boxercise classes at Riverside - the first one was lovely, mixed small group - but I ached afterwards - for days. I went to a couple more but the ratio of males / females soon dropped to just males (in fact entirely made up out of other trainers in the gym and some of my 2nd year students) So since I wasn't really enjoying it I gave it up. Zumba's still going strong, in fact I brought the Zumab Wii game from Tesco - out of curiosity and some good reviews, and it's pretty faithful to Emily's classes, which meant a year of Zumba hasn't been wasted if I can score 'Zumba Pro' on my first attempt. I also picked up a second hand Wii Fit Plus Kit, so now we have a balance board - and I have to admit it...

my brain hurts now, is it beer garden o'clock.

...but finally the beautiful Rob Ryan plates Pete brought me for Christmas are out, and up on display in the bedroom.
