Food

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 […]

If mashed potato (and sometimes polenta – see here) is the comfort food of the savoury world then surely, surely, the oh-so-chic crème brulee is the comfort food of the pudding world? There are a lot of competitors out there itching to make the #1 grade: Apple Crumble, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Steamed Pudding and lets not […]

I hesitated for some time whether to upload this recipe because quite frankly, its a bit of a faff. Now before you click that little cross at the top right hand corner of the screen, hang back a minute. The faff is merely the time it takes to make as opposed to its complexity. Now […]

I love a swalley. I’m from the Weeg and I’m student so I can say that without fearing your judgement. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware of the dangers of binge drinking and while I may still be a student, those endless weekends of boozing till dawn are firmly behind me. Being a ‘mature’ […]

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.

On a day to day basis (in my academic life) I think about, write about and research a dental health intervention which is aimed at improving children’s oral health (that’s the short story, check out my LinkedIn profile here if you want more info). However, in my blogging life, I write about food, eating and […]

Our wee Weeg (aka: Glasgow) has its very own hot & happening Blogger scene and the best bit is, it’s friendly and inviting. The Mean Girls style cliques don’t exist in this neck of the woods. We’re a friendly and full of banter bunch of babes who happen to blog. So when the opportunity came-a-knocking […]

Last Thursday we Scots voted on whether we wanted to separate from the UK and be an Independent country. 97% of Scots who were eligible to vote registered to do so and over 3.5million people turned out to cast their vote. To say it was a tense night is putting it lightly. To say I […]

The mornings are a little more crisp, the leaves are tentatively starting to change colour and the evenings are subtly becoming darker. Autumn is coming, can you feel it? Autumn is easing us in slowly this year. Typically in my neck of the woods, one minute you’re finally managing how to work a high waisted floaty […]
