Oldest food
My parents were in the habit of purchase dates on things they bought to ensure stock was rotated as best before and use by dates didn't exist then. I use to do the same. As part of a tidy up at the bottom end of my under the stairs cupboard ( the low bit that's very hard to reach into) I have found a 1kg bag of sugar which…

Forever in Blue Jeans
I have lots of pairs of jeans, which I like to wear until I can wear no more, usually because the inner seams have worn away. That still leaves a lot of denim! I could rag it, and I know there are lots of crafts that can be created from it but I'm wondering what I can turn them into that would both last the distance, and…

Gluten free almond tirimasu cake thingy!
Not sure if this is the place to discuss recipes and baking or not? However, I'm trying to come up with my own twist on a combination of a tirimasu I make (which my wife loves!) and an almond cake, which I wheel out for most birthday cakes as a starting point, as its naturally gluten free, required for my Mum. This is the…
