Parentonomy carnival: speech and food

Parentonomy carnival: speech and food

Talking and eating. Probably our kids’ two favourite things to do in life. Sometimes both at the same time. So we have been a little bewildered that so few mums and dads have linked up posts on these topics. Could be linky fatigue. Could be that not enough people know about Parentonomy yet (we’ll...

#Free cake and it’s exceedingly good

Yes free cake! From My Kipling. This kind chap has spontaneously decided to perk up the nation with 19 Cake-To-Go dispensers popping up on streets in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield. So what if petrol prices, mortgages and the general cost of living is on the up! “A slice of cake when...

Recipe: Mummy had a little lamb

Lamb is Mr G’s favourite food. When we were dating, I learned how to make some fabulous lamb dishes for him. I remember doing a particularly flavoursome Moroccan lamb dish – with loads of fruits and spices in it. Only for him to tip a jar of mint sauce over it and wolf it...

The simplest of baking ideas for Mother’s Day

Until recently I’d have been slightly miffed to be called a Mutti. But, as my sister Alex explains, it is a compliment. And when written on a gingerbread heart, irresistible. Here Alex – who has been living in Germany off and on for the last three years – shares her grand idea for a...

Comfort food for cold days

Comfort food for cold days

Waiting at the school gates this afternoon, I overheard mums and dads talking about stocking up for a big freeze. Goodness, I’m still drying out from this week’s floods. How about you?
