Wedding Jewellery

This is another opportunity for me to get all silly and girlie and squeal... My tiara, necklace and earrings, as hand made especially for my by Sweet Chestnut Designs, has arrived!!!!

YAY!!!!

Actually, I had to go and pick them up from the sorting office, as just for once, the post arrived before midday and I was still out at work. Doh!

Naturally I HAD to try them on right away.

The earrings are so sweet! They are smaller than I had pictured in my mind, which is better because they'll look nice and match the dress without distracting from it. I was starting to worry about having massive chandeliers hanging from my ears and getting caught in my hair. But not with these. They're ideal!

The necklace looks spectacular! It's just enough decoration. Simple and clean looking, with the perfect colour match. And it's got an extension chain which means I can make it longer or shorter to suit the dress. I wont know for sure how log to wear it until I see the dress again.

And the tiara.... wow! That's the best word I have for it! It's so delicate looking. And so light. The knot itself looks brilliant. The crystals are a perfect match for the dress. I'm dying to show it off to any one and every one, but I've had to put it away safe and sound. It'll be going down to Mums at the first opportunity.

I can't wait until I can try the whole lot on together, with my hair done and everything!

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
