Primula Chicken Potato Slice

It unites us.

It divides us.

We like it.

We love it.

We loathe it.

Food.

We just need to demystify food , and get ourselves out of a slump.


How about a simple recipe with just 4 ingredients ?


Ingredients

4 chicken breasts

4 large potatoes sliced

A glug of olive oil

Squeeze of primula


Method 

Preheat the oven to 190 c

Slice the potatoes into thinnish slices

Next put a layer of them on the bottom of a rectangular dish

Add a glut of oil over the potato slices.

Then add the chicken

Squeeze some primula


After this add another layer of potato

Just brush some oil onto the top later of potato


Cook for about 50 minutes

Longer if necessary and do keep checking as you want the potato crispy not burnt.


Disclosure ~ I was sent some primula to use as I wish and this is what I came up with a quick tea with minimal ingredients.

The Six Million Dollar Blogger

Blogging for me is a friendship I never thought I would have , true I've had my up down and roundabout moments. 

I was broken in fact for a while , I was lost and there's so many people that so need to thank.  Thank because they've rebuilt me from worry boots up to the hair that has a life of its own.

I'm pitching to you person to person , blogger to blogger that hereby I'll never be afraid to be the person I am.

I'm the six million dollar blogger and I've been rebuilt!

If you saw me last year I was on the edge

I'm back ...

I'm good to the bone

Poppy Fields Forever




If you're going to unplug just do it.

The world's pace is 100 miles an hour and it seems that many have lost their way in the world , normally when I go out I like to feel as if what I see is just my world and no one else's . I can see you are stressed and feeling out of place in the world so I'll let you share mine. 

I'm reaching out my hand.

I didn't take my phone with me today , so I couldn't document my steps , check my email and check the news and the worse one ~ stare at my emails as if my emails are a kind of demonic soothsayer. I did check my emails when I got home and asides an offer of marriage from Nigeria there really wasn't too much that had changed.



I'm reflective coming up to what is a turbulent time.



I've been stressed to the eye balls.

I'm on a level.

I'm reflective.

The countryside is my calming balm of a feral mood that I see myself in sometimes .

People ask me.

" Are you Ok ?"

They say this a lot.


Even when I'm as cool as a cucumber people ask , I think I've been so flighty it is the first impression I must ultimately give off.

We need to stop.

My minds eye is always looking off into the middle distance , and quite guilty I'll whip out what ever camera I have to hand and snap away.

How about for once.

We stop in that field of poppies waving in the air and look out into the middle distance together.

No need to worry alone we can do this together.


We can connect and ground ourselves with nature , I can hear it calling us


Let's go.


Let our eyes have a moveable feast.

What Cats All About ?

Rage against the machine

It probably really wasn't the wised idea to watch Hannibal before bed.

Then the fridge conspired against me and I was attacked by cheese, trout and a sausage a timely if cruel reminder that I need to clean the other half of the fridge. Fridge cleaning if you din't know is going out is the new going out as described by Cosmoplotitian ! And another thing I have discoverd that Vegemite is not marmite in no shape of form , it is in fact the devils nether regions * yuck


The toaster decided to join in on the anarchy of my morning ...

Dear Toaster How can you slightly burn one side but not other? The fridge has already ganged up on me Don't join the appliance revolution


Now feeding the cats 

That surely couldn't go wrong !

Cats have the habit of doing completely the opposite of what you want them do , pretty much like the contents of my fridge really. Now Jack won't to go out the cat flap but will choose to go out the patio doors or front door instead , why because he can. Cats I have learnt have no rules , as I am typing this I am eating flat pop corn as jack decided to sit in a box of popcorn ( sealed packets I may add) but he some what flattened the pop corn trying to get comfortable.

Then Rollie decided he would sit upon the arm of the chair,

"No"



"Get down please "



"I said DOWN"





This is a guide from Felix how to please your cat ....






Disclsure ~ My house is in chaos , the cat is sitting in the cardboard box, and I think there is a mouse under the dishwasher. Thank you felix for the treat and the tea mug

Just Let Sleeping Cats Lie

Blog as you wish.

I am one of those bloggers who doesn't quite fit into certain camps and that is ok it really is , I am lyrical in my use of photography and others appreciate what I do as well you only have to look upon my instragram feed. Then why do I feel the pressure to do this to do that , I just want to blog at my own speed.

Enough with the life hacks , enough with telling me how to do this that and the other.

We are moving too fast.


Why can't stuff just be gradual a life discovery , a being a collection.


A clique I am clearly not , thank heavens.


I mean the other day I was accepted on to a cat food assignment for the cat not me as humans should never ever eat cat food, and then the cat and I were dropped like a hot potato .We were sad for a millisecond ( well actually an hour or so ) the 'parameters had changeded' sigh. You  know what it didn't stop my cat being fed we are not reliant on blogging hand outs we blog as we feel.


Currently I have just read something which has the line " people see 100 friends on Facebook an achievement "

Really  ?


I see beautiful birds flying as an achievement !




I suppose ?!

I think perhaps we can get a little too hung up on social media or into social media.

I will continue to blog my own way .

Like me .

Loathe  me.

Love me.


I blog as and when the feeling takes me on.


Below is a cats approach to blogging.










Then inspiration strikes .....




Then the relax takes over.
