10 items for a grown up kitchen

Now that I have my new digs (stay tuned for the official Weegie kitchen tour) I’ve been reminiscing about the flats I’ve lived in over the years. We’re talking 12 years of Weegie living from my late teens to early thirties. This includes a 2 bed squalor flat where I lived with 3 girls & we had a […]

The Lobster Shack

Andy Murray is pelting a tennis ball in his whites and I have a hankering for Pimms, this surely means its SUMMER! I swear I feel like Buddy the Elf when he discovers “Santa” is coming to Gimbels. So what better way to celebrate the start of the British Scottish summer (we both know these are […]

My love affair with cake knows no bounds. Actually scrap that. My love affair with JUNK food knows no bounds. Chocolate bars, crisps, nuts, pretzels, ice cream, doughnuts and cakes. I freaking love it all. I do what I can to curb this type of gorging to a less frequent basis than I would ideally […]
