We're Redesigned!!

Well after a long day of very hard work, I've managed to completely redesign our site.

Take a look by clicking the banner below. I'd love to hear what you think :)

Scented Wooden Roses

Hi all,

Made these today and I'm looking for opinions...









These are scented with rose FO and I really like them. I have all different colours so could do loads of different scents. Thinking of selling with a small (20ml or so) spray bottle, made like a room spray but stronger, that the customer can spray on the roses to refresh the scent.

What do you think?

Spatchcock Chicken...!

Hi everyone,

I tried something new for the first time yesterday: spatchcocking a chicken!

Spatchcock basically means you cut out the bird's backbone and flatten it - like they do at Nandos. It's a lovely way of cooking a chicken on the BBQ as most of it cooks in the same amount of time. However, if you try it be sure to remove the keel bone which is the bit of cartilage and bone between the chicken's breasts (hehe!) as it makes the bird much easier to carve.

There is a good video tutorial for this here.

So anyway, I cooked the bird until almost done, then started slathering BBQ marinade all over both sides with a silicone brush every time I turned it over. The result was a delicious, moist yet flavoursome chicken.

I put the chicken in a pitta bread with a nice dressed salad and some coleslaw on the side. To accompany, I put some Jersey Royal potatoes in a foil pouch with oil, butter, salt and pepper and put on the BBQ at about the same time I started marinaded the chicken. They were delicious!

Here are some pics for you:






Go on, give it a go. I'm sure you'll love it!

With the leftovers, I have just finished making a scrummy chicken and mushroom risotto. Mmmmmmm!

Swirly Spa Bars

Well not really sure they're swirls, more like marbled but I'm really please since these are salt bars which set up sooooooo quickly.

They contain around 50% sea salt which makes them really really soothing. They go hard like a stone and they're so lovely to use in the shower on a hot day.

It took me and Michael moving as quickly as we could, working as hot as possible to even get these in the individual moulds... Thinking I might try a loaf next time as there was lots of wastage near the end when it was setting.
