Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
We did a couple of posts a while back about all the fun we were having with our pasta machine, making ravioli and Chinese dumplings. Last night the machine was dragged out again, this time to make tagliatelle. Fun with a pasta machine More fun with a pasta machine So if you […]
As a wee weekend treat, I like to make pancakes for breakfast and wake kate up with a big plate of pancakes, egg and sausage and a cup of coffee. We’ve been doing this for a few months and even created a youtube video showing you how to do this […]
We mentioned in a previous post that hygge is a Danish word meaning roughly to enjoy the pleasures life brings and be content. So here’s another recipe to help you bring on the hygge this winter. Today I’m taking a day off from studies to have a bit of a […]

This is not for the calorie-conscious… You have been warned. Kate and I are doughnut fans. Kate is a sucker for a good raspberry jam-filled one and due to my time in New York, I am a fan of a brand called Krispy Kreme. The only problem with this is […]
Today is our friend Luke’s birthday and as a treat, we’re baking him a batch of Brownies to remind him what he’s missing from the states. Brownies are one of those things which scream USA along with cookies and pumpkin pie and the one thing us poor Brits need to […]
