New Year's Day Dessert

The Cowboy gave me the newest Chelsea Winter 'Scrumptious' cookbook for Christmas. Clever him. Double clever him as he benefits from me using of the cookbook!

Since we didn't have a proper dinner on New Year's Eve I thought I had better up my game on New Year's Day.

What better than a celebratory dessert such as Chelsea's take on good old fashioned...

Chocolate Chippie Pudding!

It was truly decadent. Laced with Sherry. Smothered in Cream. Covered in dark Chocolate. YUM.

You can get the recipe here.

Thanks for reading.

Shelf Life

The arrival of the new baby resulted in losing a space for my beloved kitchen scales that once belonged to my beloved Granny.

All was not lost because I had been eyeing up the one blank wall in the kitchen for a while. A quick trip to our local Mitre 10, a piece of pine cut to size, two metal brackets, some man labor and I now have a beautiful new shelf.

Perfect for Granny's kitchen scales and a Syngonium nesting in an early Christine Boswijk pottery bowl. Pretty.

The Cowboy really enjoyed his birthday yesterday, putting up a shelf for me with the help of his Dad. Lucky Cowboy. Happy Me.

Cost = $35 and some love.
