Have you ever been embarrassed? where there is no way of getting out of a awkward situation well I have and this was this morning okay so I was busy in the kitchen untill I heard knocking at the front door so as usual with out thinking I go running to the front door and open it to see a delivery guy standing right in front of me with my delivery but before I could say anything I noticed he was staring down at me why? well it was because I forgot to put a bra on this morning lol and as I'm a top half heavy sort of girl lets just say it wasn't a nice picture, so what do I decide to do grab the parcel and shut the door on him to make things more awkward is when he decides to knock again because I forgot to sign for it I was so embarrassed ( AWKWARD)
Moveing swiftly on before I give you guys any more reasons to laugh at me lol I did say im an open book in my first post so expect more embarrassing episodes ha! ha!
This afternoons post is mainly about my favourite dishes I love to cook and recipes I'd like to share with you guys but I must add right now I'm listening to Marvin Gaye ain't no mountians high enough
and a little Jackson 5 showing off my dance moves to the passersbys poor guys lol.
The types of food I love is of course, you can not beat the traditional english sunday roast, pie liquor and mash but I have a soft spot for french and spanish food I tried a polish dish a couple of years back sadly though I was never given the recipe but till this day I can remember the taste was amazing only thing I know was in it was tomatoes spinach and was a little tangy. Only thing I can say is YUM! my favourite cooks are Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, Mary Berry, Sandra Lee and Giada De Laurentiis all amazing cooks and completely different I love that Jamie Oliver is so passionate about working with schools for better food choices for the children being a mother myself it's nice to know it's not just at home that my children are getting the right amounts of fruit and veg so thumbs up to Jamie Oliver, Mary Berry's cakes look so tasty I enjoy watching these chefs at work finding new recipes to try.
