Cats Protection #CPBlackCats

Yes yes Rollie is the star of my blog but I do forget sometimes I have a Black cat by my admissions he is not as pretty as Rollie but with all those supermodel looks Rollie is not as friendly as Jack. So Black cats do make good pets and are not to be forgotten .Sorry Jack I salute you.



Meet Jack Black the Black cat.

I can't cook cakes sorry Silver Spoon

I was sent some more cake products to try  they really hadn't read my other review had they? Though still surely nothing could go wrong now could it nahhh.


Honestly it's a Butterfly

A Beautiful Butterfly.

I forget to add these were meant to be white chocolate Cupcakes I forgot to add the white chocolate chips to the mixture but I did  remember to add the Silver Spoon Snowies to make some pretty wings.




But for an idea of how to cook and decorate cakes properly please head over to Silverspoon. I know that's where I'll be heading from now on. I hope to redeem myself when I makes some biscuits , promise you will stop by and have one with a cup of tea now won't you?


The Salter Health Grill Review


NEW Salter Stainless Steel Health Grill £59.99

I love cooking! ( but sssssssh I am not so good at cakes)   But, cooking in a healthy way is a must for me now trying to lose weight . Healthy Living is must for us all!  So, if you love cooking and want to stay healthy, the Salter Health Grill is an absolute must have.


The Salter Health Grill allows you to enjoy healthy grilled food without the grease.  It features a non-stick and easy to clean cooking plates so you can cook without using fat or oil and the sloped grill allows the fat to drip off. The large cooking area allows you to cook up to four portions at a time and the adjustable floating hinge means the food can be various sizes. The digital temperature control and high heat sear function gives you precise control for excellent results every time. The Salter Health Grill also includes a cool touch handle and the grill can be stored away in an upright position.  Drip tray included.

I have had different brands of this type of product over the years and to be honest done have stood the test of time , they are usually consigned to the bin. What I really like about this product is its ability to be able to adjust the cooking temperature for your meat etc. I like the fact it slopes away and collects the fat in a little pot. The photos below are my adventures cooking a Ribeye steak mmmm.

I just moved the Ribeye steaks around to create that grill pattern you see in restaurants.

And of course I used the hot heat sear facility on this grill as I was cooking steak.


My finished dinner complete with peppercorn sauce and a healthy jacket.
This is one Grill product that will not be consigned to the bin)

Dummies all in the name of peace

The other day I went swimming( ie I just sat in the hot tub and J went swimming)  whilst Mr T went going at the Belfry hotel. So going through the the swimming pool reception , there was a young mum there with her toddler dummy stuck in mouth. Sure the little girl was cute enough , she said " I am going swimming " half garbled through her dummy.

So we get to the  pool and I hibernate in the hot tub and J does line swimming, and then the toddler enters with her mum and proceeds to go swimming with the dummy in her mouth!!!!!! No I am sure that this is not hygienic. You probably have your own thoughts about dummies, I don't like them myself I never used them, and as I also teach speech and language it doesn't help a child with their own letter and sound formation to have a dummy stuck in their mouth.

What are your thoughts on children and dummies?
