I think you have to practise a new recipe a few times to make it your own. This was my second time making the Rum and Coconut Panna cotta from the Shed Bistro cookbook. I added a little more rum this time & it was absolutely delicious.

⛔️Stacey Solomon says weekly, to which I say a resounding ‘NO’.⁣
⁣
🤦‍♀️Too much hassle, too little time, and too expensive in winter when you can’t dry outside! 🧺⁣
⁣
I chat more about it on the blog if you fancy a read, perhaps before bed!! 💤💤⁣

☔️Yesterday was a dreitch day so called for co-ordinating colours with my @jessiesweecrafts YEO earrings & my @stberts jumper. ☀️🌞🌅Hoking in my wardrobe now for another bright ensemble as today’s weather isn’t much better. ☔️🌧💧#colourmehappy #brightcolours #brightcolourjanuary #Supportlocal #shoplocal #january #northernireland #northernirelandweather #niweathersucks #nibloggers #beatthejanuaryblues #weekend

📸Granted, it doesn’t look like much. But this is my newly discovered method to match some of the errant socks in your children’s lives. ⁣
⁣
🧺No matter how bored your offspring claim to be, they will never be sufficiently fed up to pair their socks. Instead, they will f**k errant socks into drawers where the pattern of unmatched socks will continue, for years. ⁣
⁣
🧦I try not to let this bother me but for some reason it does. But this evening, under the influence of a few drinks, I organised a few socks onto the floor in rough order of colour. It may have been from inebriation and also the distance of looking down on them, but I managed to pair a few (12, actually) by just throwing them into little piles. ⁣
⁣
✔️It was very satisfying. And also very sad. And LSB walked past to brush his teeth, & moved swiftly by when I explained what I was at. ⁣
⁣
🤯As you can see, motherhood has changed me. ⁣

🍞 Bread & butter pudding, from BBCGoodfood. The best way (I thought) to use up a left over white bloomer. ⁣
⁣
❄️ I also very partial to a pudding such as this for breakfast- hearty fare for a crisp morning, ⁣
⁣
🔥 Sadly though, I bunged it in the oven too high. The result was overcooked on the top & dried up in the middle- hardly the unctuous delight I was after. ⁣
⁣
🥣 Driven by my dislike of waste though, I’m ploughing through, one stodgy mouthful at a time. Everyone else has declined even a bite.

📸Wee pic from our beach walk this afternoon. Poor Stevey (otherwise known as LSB on the blog) was trying to take a decent photo while holding the dog who was dying to get a scamper on the beach & was pulling the arm of him. 🤯 Anyhoo, I wanted to write a post saying how much I appreciate every one of you who reads the sourweeblog and engages with me on whatever it is that I’m chuntering on about. You’re a brilliantly supportive bunch & having my blog as an outlet to park my angst & have a whinge saves LSB the earache of listening to my complaints, so really everyone’s a winner. Thanks all, & I hope you had the sense not to celebrate the passing of 2022 with quite the ebullience I did. I’m only feeling a bit more like myself now (at one minute past midnight). #fragile #cavashouldbebanned #asshouldmartini #nibloggers

Starting the New Year with coffee & tiffin, while reassessing my life choices. Cava, porn star martini, champagne. Then it was back to cava. Each drop more delicious than the last, but still. 🥴 #coffee #tiffin #newyear #regret #chocolatemakeseverythingbetter #butdoesitthough?

☀️Snapshot of a golden half hour this afternoon. Ask me what I love so much about Strout & I will struggle to tell you. Her stories just draw me in & restore my balance, even when she writes about tough, unimaginable things. I find myself underlining sentences, & feeling very understood. I go back to her work over & over & feel joy when she writes a new one. And when her characters’ stories overlap & they bump into each other! It is a wonderful thing. I live better when I have a Strout novel to hand. 💕#timeout #holidays #elizabethstroutbook #lucybartonbooks #lovereading #livetoread

Everyone is out & it’s just me & the dog. And two hungry cats, but I’m ignoring them. 💫💫💫

🎄My attempt at zero-waste wrapping continues. ⁣
⁣
🍯Locally grown honey wrapped in sparkly fabric I bought 18 yrs ago during a crafty phase. ⁣
⁣
⚠️Warning - holly is HATEFUL to work with. Nasty prickly stuff. I’d actually avoid- I’m holding a grudge. ⁣(Obviously I knew it was prickly, but didn’t realise HOW prickly).
⁣
📚Books wrapped in #theguardian using a technique I saw on here. Undoubtedly the swanky paper used looks better, but is it zero waste? Methinks not!! ⁣
⁣
The only thing I bought this year was some festive yarn from Paperchase which was £5 😱🤯 🧶 ⁣
⁣
🤔What are your thoughts?? Be kind!!! ⁣I’ll also be over on stories.
