last weekend i spent with my wonderful grandparents, eating creamed parsnip and vanilla sponge. it was a spectacular drive on the way as it started snowing and it was settling thicker and thicker - so completely magical! the few inches we had meant that we stayed inside most of the weekend knitting and watching great old movies like the millionairess
.
the view from my bedroom was quite spectacular when i woke up on Saturday morning ♥
my latest eats are humble but delicious:
♥ pouring yogurt with banana, oats, sultanas and linseeds. a tasty dessert shared with my mother one evening.
♥ boiled egg with dipping soldiers and baked beans are so much fun. it's like being a kid again. although my adult self sensibly put a side salad with it to balance it out...
♥ we've been eating a lot of salad lately, with lots of protein and fresh greens. spicy chicken, boiled egg, spinach, kale, cucumber, tomato and peppers. with my favorite ryvita crispbread and a layer of houmous.
♥ sometimes our lunches are weird. a sort of strange combination of things put together from fridge leftovers - a bit of tortelloni, a fried sardine, some houmous, some dill mayo, some veg and greens. it all feels a little railway children
, doesn't it?
♥ my friend's birthday happened last week, and she came over for a little lunch - our last weekly lunch as we are both starting new jobs! so i made her some pretty cupcakes, using all the icing and sprinkles and edible glitter i could find...
i hope you are all enjoying the first day of december, and that you opened a door on your advent calendar!

Those cupcakes look fabulous - I really must try making some soon but I have a list of 'to bake / cook' recipes as long as my arm! I sometimes think those random meals are the best ones :-)
