Final days for the Masterchef Kitchen Torch giveaway!!! Yesterday my sweetie-pie sister said she was worried about me……..and was I going to cut myself some slack as far as what I’m trying to cram into every day (hello pot, meet kettle!).

It’s Monday – AGAIN! But this week is going to be short, I think, with preparing to hand over my position and tidying up loose ends. After almost 6 years it is sad to say goodbye but I am really looking forward to my new position and the challenges ahead. I do enjoy making lunch [...]
