| About me: | I like to cook full flavoured, generally healthy food with just a few good quality ingredients.
My favourite piece of cooking equipment is my George Foreman grill because it is great for making good tasting, healthy food quickly. Other interests include computing, Adventure Races, Triathlons, running, cycling (on and off road), swimming, rock climbing, snowboarding, target shooting, photography and cars. |

Aoife - I'll see you there! :-)
Good to meet you too Carly. I like how you review restaurants. I critique them all the time with my friends but don't write about them - mainly because there aren't that many decent restaurants in Milton Keynes and I don't want to get banned lol.

Scrambled eggs
I liked this. I didn't used to add milk, but the milk made it more airy and fluffy.
Bread and butter pudding
The recipe looked easy, so I tried it myself.
Then I found out that as well as being easy to make, it was also very tasty!
I might try it again with whole-grain bread and see how that turns out.
Chocolate chip muffins
These were really easy to make!
I also added banana pieces which was nice.
When was the last time you tried a different supermarket?
There are 2 large superstores that are convenient for me - one near my office (Sainsbury's) and another near my house (Tesco).
I prefer the one near my office because they seem to have a better selection of food. Plus they have more check-out counters so the service is faster.
