Phew.

Have been so busy studying for months now I haven't had time to do this blog (and barely to cook either).

Am currently in the panic last week before end of semester exams for the first year of my part-time MSc.  However, have been working so hard I have to break it up a bit.

At the weekend I cooked pork curry in which I put butternut squash.  That was good.  Yesterday, beef skirt casserole with onions,tomatoes, frozen peppers and dumplings.

I also made a fruitcake with wensleydale cheese in it (recipe from a magazine)- had to try it coz it looked interesting but I think it would have been better without the cheese. It went a bit hard.  It also has stem ginger which is nice and next time I'll just substitute the cheese for some more of that.

Weather today cooler and damper- we had some real rain last night for the first time in months. 
Our new bed came today and George and I took the old mattress to the dump.
