Do you use a pressure cooker? I go through phases of using ours, and then periods when I forget it at the back of the cupboard. I’m trying to remember to use it at the moment, because it really does cut cooking times quite...

Fleur I've seen people mention their Instant Pot and didn't know exactly what that was, thanks!

I have been using up the stash of free peanut butter I was given. As I mentioned before I made peanut butter cookies – three times, because they are such a favourite! – as well as peanut butter and squash soup, Gado Gado, and...

Fleur Yes I have used it for that in the past. Luckily we don't have the need for several jars' worth for that purpose!

Today our son and his wife and the twins spent the day at the beach. The weather is a bit warmer, not hot by any stretch of the imagination, but nicer than it has been. The sun was shining and the breeze wasn't as strong as it...

Fleur @Juliaacv Do you think so? I'm not very fond of sand. And when people talk about the joy of feeling the sand between their toes... I don't agree with them

Last time I did a big supermarket shop, I went to buy some chocolate and found that their own-brand chocolate bars (which are what we usually buy for use in cooking and also general nibbling) were half price. So naturally I bought...

I am terrified of fire. If I think I smell heat or smoke I do a manic search for the root cause That’s not the weird part. When I see someone on a television program light a cigarette or start a fire, I feel like I can smell...

It’s one of those weeks when uncertainty reigns for us. The kind of week in which several things go awry and it’s hard to plan because everything depends on everything else. My wife’s car has to get seen to tomorrow and it’ll be...

The day spa I'm at is right next to a boat yard. It isn't the most beautiful view but I did enjoy watching all of the cats earlier this year. I haven't seen any this week but I suspect that is because there is so much activity...

Fleur Maybe all the owners came to their boats in early summer - and found all kinds of problems that needed to be fixed so they had to go to the boatyard.

Fleur @thedevilinme The whole 'fear of strangers' issue has got totally out of control! I just read an article citing a (very small) survey of students which found that 14% of them only left their home once a week or less.
