We are going for a topsy turvy cake! 2 layers: White on the bottom with peppermint green four leaf clovers (to represent our engagement location!) in a chocolate cake, and stripes of blush pink green and white on the top to represent wedding colours in a vanilla sponge. Then edible flowers on the top!
Yes very lucky
Not sure any of my maids would do what you did for your sis though xxxx

Good morning lovely ladies
Unfortunately I gained 1lb this morning :/ but it was well deserved!
I had a great and very busy weekend - I was out with girls from work on Friday night and copius amounts of wine and a few cheeky shots were drank. Food was delicious - goats cheese starter with a beetroot relish, and a falafel moroccan tagine! Saturday we had boiled egg and wholemeal pitta for soldiers for breakfast, a pulled pork burrito for lunch, and SW friendly chili for dinner. There was also a lot of wine had! Sunday I had poached eggs, toast, tomato sausage and bacon for breakfast; a jacket potato with pulled pork for lunch; 1/2 becks 1/2 guinness, and boiled eggs and wholemeal bread soldiers for dinner.
I am knackered Did you ladies have a good one?
Eats for today: Grapes and Nuts for brekkie
Meeting a friend for lunch and fancy pasta or rissoto!
Afternoon snacks: Banana and raisins
Other food TBC

Hehe I hadn't really thought of it like that but you're right!
I ended up going for a risotto which was amazing followed by icecream. Mmm carbonara sounds yummy. True although there were a few hidden extras like chocolate that crept in

My problem is that I don't like those little slivers of chorizo, I like buying the proper cured rings and eating chunks of it! SYN CITY!! xx

Yeaaaa! I'd take half , de-skin it and then chop it up into fairly sizeable chunks... If I use less I find I can just use smoked paprika for a similar flavour. I am a greedy chorizo piggy which is why I avoid it! xx

And jessy when I read that you were going to 'James' mum'a'....I thought you were saying it in an Italian accent, like mammmma! Haha and thought hat she must be cooking up an Italian number! And then I realised it must be a typo...oops! I'm sure whatever she whipped up was delish!! Xxx

Haha i love chorizo and i too could just eat a ring of it! I like it lightly fried first!
Dianne did us a steak salad: steak strips, asparagus, mange tout, feta, beetroot, cucumber, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, lettuce, in a mint dressing. Served with some soda bread. So no recipe to share this week BUT it was the nciest salad I have had in a long time, it truly was divine with the mint dressing.
We then shared a chocolate eclair - everyone wanted a whole one each but I was good and James and I shared
Eats for today:
B: Banana, Grapes, Strawberries, Protein shake
S: Nuts and raisins
L: Chorizo turkey pasta bake (2) with celery sticks to pad it out
S: Pop crips (4.5)
D: Some pork dish (haha Lil i will have pork this time)
