Chopping Boards or Plates?!?!


Ok, I don’t tend to normally like to rant on here but there is one thing that really annoys me.  This is the latest trend by restaurants etc. to insist on serving your food on what is basically a chopping board!!

I really don’t understand it at all, especially with foods that come with a sauce which in turn sees said sauce racing towards the edge of the board and then onto the table cloth and on occasion into your lap.

I also think this way of eating is very unhygienic.  Foodstuffs and sauces can become engrained in the wood and difficult to remove, so do you truly ever have a clean board?  Also you wouldn’t catch me eating my main meal off a chopping board in the house.  There is a reason plates were invented and have been used for thousands of years and this is because it’s a result of progress.

Call me a snob, call me what you will but I do not see how eating off a chopping board is the height of fine dining and sophistication.  Give me a good plate any day.

Digger Cake

For the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday I decided to make him a digger cake and I have to say I was very pleased with the results, it also took less time to make than I had anticipated.

With the extra square of cake left from making the main body and cab of the digger, I scooped out the middle section to create the digger bucket, then covered this in butter icing and ready roll icing on top. I iced the main body of the digger and the bucket and then attached the bucket using two rolls of icing for the arms.   I used a food colouring pen for the initial detail on the digger and filled the bucket with rainbow drops and popping candy.   I placed melted...

The Afternoon Teas Have Returned....Cheltenham

Hurrah, at long last the delightful afternoon teas have returned and it was kick started with a meet up with the Biffa's (self given name for my little group of lovely ladies).  We decided to meet up in Cheltenham as it's roughly half way between Bridgend and Stafford along with being a nice place. We decided to rendezvous at the Cheltenham park and ride.  I have to say one of my main priorities when visiting any where is that they have a decent easy to get to park and ride.  I mean, why battle with the inner town systems of somewhere you haven't a clue when you can just park up and jump on a bus which does the stressful bit for you. On arrival into the town we got our bearings by heading to the nearest decent looking pub and as we were driving the strongest thing we opted for was caffeine.  Still it gave us chance to have a natter, exchange some gifts and decide where we wanted to go and if anyone had anything in particular they wanted to get.     ...
