home made scones

So I made these this afternoon after seeing the super easy recipe in the kenwood chef food processor website. Mum dug out her old kenwood for me and i thought i would see what they had to say - they have a few recipes ideas on their site so i thought - it'll only take 10mins...


and it did. they werent great but they are ok. super quick to make.

I had already planned to make banana loaf so got cracking on that- again i used the food processor - this went terribly wrong... i for one turn the grill on thinking i had turned the oven on! stupid stuipd me!

so a few hours later i make another one. This one is an improvement but still a bit uncooked looking in the middle?? any who i am still on no carbs (week 4 i think!) so i havent even tried either of them.

Dinner at le Tollbooth Essex




We had dinner here last weekend for my dad's 70th birthday. It was, I must say a real treat!

Great service, although my dads's wine glass was left empty once or twice for maybe a few minutes longer than it should but apart form that the service was lovely- friendly and professional.

The menu was good not brilliant and I mean that from a personal point of view. The food was enjoyed by all and I will most defiantly be going back for more. Especially now I know they do a roast on a Sunday!

I shared the chateaubriand with my mum, medium rare and it was just to die for!
