We love a good pair of socks in our house. I mean, really, is there anything nicer than a new pair? This picture pretty much represents our weekend, when lots of slouching was involved. I did finish the scarf I was knitting for my grandma for Christmas though and we sprayed all the silver frames that we used at our wedding black and are finally deciding which of our wedding pictures we want to frame. Too many to choose from and it seems ever so narcissistic to have 25 pictures of us around such a small flat. We’ve narrowed it down to about 7. Or possibly 10. I also worked for a few hours at a modelling competition/fashion show that our publishing house was hosting and have now managed to accrue enough days in lieu to have the days in between Christmas and New Year off. How very blissful. Last night mine and B's Mum’s came round for dinner and B pulled some damn tasty food out of that ever so clever bag of his. Annoyingly I was so excited about it all I forgot to photograph the lemon chicken on roasted new potatoes, red onion and red pepper. It was even more yummy than it sounds. I did manage a few pictures of the strawberry and apple crumble he made though, so look out for that recipe later this week. Pudding is a rare treat in our house, so this was very exciting. Is there anything more autumnal than a big bowl of crumble and custard? And there’s enough left over for us to have a mini bowl each tonight too. Bring on dinner time I say.
Your dinner sounds amazing!! Delicious. It's definitely not narcissistic! Put them all up, I say! =)
ReplyDeleteAnd hooray for the week between Christmas and New year off! Definitely something to look forward to!
Yum! I love a good bowl of crumble. Or any dessert really. You must post whatever photo you decide so we can all have a little look...
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, custard ... it's been far too long.
ReplyDeleteHaving the days in between Christmas and New Year off is key! Yay!!
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I'm already getting excited for the holiday season? ;)
Just wanted to say Hi!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered your blog. It's lovely.
I pretty much started my blog for the same reasons.
I think it will be nice to look back on in years to come too.

ReplyDeleteStrawberry apple crumble sounds delicious. Please do post the recipe and pictures!
ReplyDeleteCrumble. A very easy way to my heart. Damn easy to make, and way too easy to eat. Crumble, crumble, crumble...possibly one of my top 2 desserts.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks - I have this thing in winter where all my fluffy pink and purple socks come out and pretty much stay on my feet (at home!) until spring!
ReplyDeleteI love those socks. It's always nice in the winter and the fall to have a nice, fun, warm pair! For Halloween last yr I bought a fun pair that had a blinking witch on them! WOW Strawberry and Apple crumble...that sounds good! ♥ Cant wait to see photos of it! So sweet that you had both of your moms over together.
ReplyDeleteSometimes i wish our socks could show through our shoes! Yay for the fall and all the weRm fuzzy things we get to wear!
ReplyDeletecute socks!!! and that dinner sounds insanely delicious! I would love the recipe :). And I can't wait to see the strawberry and apple crumble pictures/recipe! Why oh why have I given up sugar? haha. Well, when I go back to it, first thing I will do is try to make your crumble straight away!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I'd love a crumble.
ReplyDeleteI had an earl grey and prune bread and butter pudding on the weekend. Sounds like a Nanna dish but it was awesome!
What a super clever cooking husband you have .... And crumble and custard. That would win this ladies heart any day.
ReplyDeleteOh, cute socks too!!
I love new socks they are always so soft, pity it doesn't last.
ReplyDeleteMmm...apple crumble :)
Very jealous of your days in lieu situation. My work unfortunately doesn't do this and it looks as if I'm working the 27th-30th. Gah!
