My posts from June, 2009

Mini Mont Blancs

I recently made these cute desserts which are definitely worth sharing. (The picture isn’t all that special, but they were, honestly.) I totally forgot about them until I was thinking about sweet treats the other day. This dessert-based reverie happens fairly frequently so I’m surprised it took me so long to remember them.

Anyway, they are little meringues topped with sweetened chestnut puree and then a creamy topping. I am often suspicious of any pudding that doesn’t include chocolate, but you can set any similar worries aside, as these are yummy. I made them from a recipe in Desserts by James Martin, but I found an identical Delia Smith recipe here, so if you want to try them (and I would advise you to do so) then just follow Delia.

Fancy blue fascinator

blue-fascinator

I got into bad habits recently and stopped blogging and crafting. This is silly because I love both of these things and as soon as I get stuck back in I remind myself how foolish it is to let them fall to the wayside. So I made this blue fascinator and got a double whammy, as it meant fun craft time and a perfectly good reason to blog again.

So here it is - it’s a bit crazy as it is quite high and makes me look super tall but I don’t care too much because I push 6ft in heels anyway. I’m planning to wear it to two weddings later this year with this lovely blue dress that has a Chinese flower print all over it.

Ed’s Diner

I’m having a bit of a thing for the 1950’s at the moment, so last night Dan and I went to Ed’s Diner in Piccadilly Circus in central London.  It does amazing  milkshakes (I can highly recommend the banana one) and scrummy burgers. I stupidly forgot to take a photo, but it had duke boxes packed with rock n’ roll and shamelessly huge plates of food, it was so fun!
