Remember the other day how I was saying I am not very domesticated well check this out. Today me and eldest small person did baking.
She made these lovely blueberry muffins,
and some ginger cookies.
Both taste devine. Wee one was out playing at a friends but when she got home and saw the goodies her little eyes lit up.
And yes I did say we did some baking although technically I'd have to say that my 21st Century gadgets did most of the work.
Firstly I made my first ever Lentil Soup and used my Slow Cooker for the first time. Ok the picture probably isn't the most appetising but honestly it's a much nicer colour in real life and it tastes gorgeous. Wee one is not usually very adventurous with soups but she had a massive bowl and is already planning on having another bowl tomorrow.
And my ever faithful bread machine baked me some sun dried tomato bread. This recipe is another first. A friend brought me up one of her loaves last year or so and it was lovely so I've always wanted to try and make it myself.
As you can see the loaf was a bit big for my machine so maybe next time I'll reduce the ingredients a bit.
See the lovely goodness?
And that yes that blurry hand is wee one helping herself to go with her soup.
And my final B. The bargains. How could I resist these mugs from Matalan. Each was filled with sweeties and wrapped up with a pretty bead flower. And the best bit? Reduced to £1.71 each.
Am sitting here watching Underworld: Evolution having just watched Underworld. Good old FilmFour you sit down to watch just one and suddenly you find yourself still sitting up at 1am in the morning and there's still 15 minutes to go.

Thanks so much for the award - I'm really touched.
You were industrious yesterday - I felt really guilty when I went to bed last night - I had really good intentions about getting loads done and then didnt do much at all !!
I've just looked at the amazing amount that you got done and slunk back into my guilt - oh well todays another day !!!
