I dont know if your nan had Irish heritage like me! Have to say since I came here in 1983 after meeting my English husband I felt so welcome and though I missed my mum I wouldnt want to live anywhere else.That was my lovely nans favourite saying as she wasn’t tall, “All good things come in little packages” she used to say.
I wouldn’t be without my mini moulds I have one that makes mini loaves which I use for my almond bread, clafoutis and egg bakes and a round one that is divided into wedges, this is good for the zucchini lemon or chocolate olive oil cake as the portion sizes are generous but still keep me within my allowances for carbs per slice. I also have some pretty flower moulds that I have used for peppermint fat bombs.
I don't buy from Amazon. I walk dogs, cut lawns, saw, chop and stack logs then exercise. I bought Mrs P an ipad and we have a joint current account, Delivery drivers arrive with all sortsI didn’t see those offers - probably just as well!
Do you buy from Amazon? I think Ive seen you mention Bulk Powders?
I’ll wait to see how I get on with the choc bars before buying industrial size portions I think.
Evening all. @Kingmidas the photo is lovely and the holiday food sounds fantastic.
@shelley262 I had the same test of willpower when making mashed potato for the others yesterday - its so instinctive to have a little taste. Have you invited a lot of guests for the big day?
B: asparagus wrapped in bacon ( snap @jayney27) with a poached egg
L: Ham, avocado, boiled egg and green leaves. 10cal jelly
D: Very nice sage, rosemary and garlic stuffed loin of pork done in the good old IP. Youngest daughter came round to join us ( and brought her washing!) and declared it the nicest pork she’d ever had. Accompanied by garlicy buttery cabbage and cauli cheese. Couple of glasses red wine.
Yes it’s a bit like eBay, one search turns into a shopping spree lolI was tempted by the flower moulds too, I am developing a bit of an Amazon habit I think though. Must stop.
Since my niece moved in next door she gets her parcels delivered here too. Hers plus mine the Hermes guy is here so often he's thinking of renting a room!I don't buy from Amazon.

I don't really care too much what gets bought as long as the numbers add up/stay in green on my spreeadsheet each monthSince my niece moved in next door she gets her parcels delivered here too. Hers plus mine the Hermes guy is here so often he's thinking of renting a room!
Hi, no she was very much English however she married a “Murphy” so there is a little Irish connection. My nan from my dads side of the family was the daughter of an American and Navarro Indian, she was adopted and bought up in England. When I was a young girl I had very long dark straight hair and looked a bit like a little red indian, minus the feathers and moccasinsI dont know if your nan had Irish heritage like me!

I was at a neighbours last night, we had a get together to say good bye to a neighbour who is moving, during the evening shopping was discussed, as I am one of only a few people where I live that works full time my neighbours often take in parcels for me, this was mentioned and one of them said, “ I see a delivery man approaching, my heart sinks and I think what has my wife bought now, then sigh with relief when they say the parcel is for Jayne, will you take it”Since my niece moved in next door she gets her parcels delivered here too.

The good thing about amazon is they package everything so well it is impossible to hide the evidenceI was at a neighbours last night, we had a get together to say good bye to a neighbour who is moving, during the evening shopping was discussed, as I am one of only a few people where I live that works full time my neighbours often take in parcels for me, this was mentioned and one of them said, “ I see a delivery man approaching, my heart sinks and I think what has my wife bought now, then sigh with relief when they say the parcel is for Jayne, will you take it”

I often think they try to off load their packaging to us, I have often had something the size of a postage stamp in a box big enough for a pair of shoes, filled with those air filled pockets and brown paper!!!!The good thing about amazon is they package everything so well it is impossible to hide the evidence

You seem to be really getting into your IP. Excellent!
It sounds like you were (and look like) the very pretty Pocohontos (? Spelling) which is so special. I think the Murphy influence on your nan gave her lots of sayings I would recognise. Its lovely we are all so different.Hi, no she was very much English however she married a “Murphy” so there is a little Irish connection.

You need an IPDinner was beef short rib, but the almost 3 hour wait for it to be ready left me very hungry. .
