Happy Holidaysphoto copyright ©2003-2008 Sam Javanrouh of Daily Dose of Imagery

Am in Canada for the holidays, posting will resume shortly, am just eating as much as possible before I return to Blighty. My mum made great cookies the other night -main ingredient - 1 cup of butter! The muffin top tales continue...

Hamburger helperThis cute hamburger press was just laying out in the aisle of a food market in Florence. No real worries of health and safety in Italy. When I got back Kiwi Rabbit made hamburgers with a fried egg, pineapple and beetroot on top. I have never seen that in my life before, apparently it is a Kiwi thing. Those crazy Kiwis!
It looked good but I didn't have a taste, will have to try that combination of flavours next time. Have only had beetroot a few times and am getting to like the taste now, I think I love that it is doused in vinegar, anything sour is fabulous to me. Why do they not sell Bick's pickles in London?!

Off for a run as the muffin top is not going down, instead it is growing, especially after Ed's gourmet meal last night. Ed the pub man made us a fabulous meal which included the much discussed English onion soup - will post about it soon.

Greetings
I love this greeting card I got from my co-workers!

You know you've made it when they put your name on a greeting card. I wonder if Gordon Ramsay even knows this is circulating? Today is Day 1 of exercise...off to do pilates to get rid of the Christmas muffin top. But, tonight we are going to replicate a recipe from Jamie Oliver's latest cookbook Jamie at Home...the muffin top continues to prosper.
