  • A second no recipe cake. In which I don’t follow the instructions anyway…

    So another Pinterest cake. You can’t really call it a recipe when it is only 2 things. The idea and picture on Pinterest is for an apple cinnamon cake. I didn’t have apple pie filling in a tin, so I substituted raspberry.… Continue reading

  • The Artist’s Way

    It was Julia Cameron’s birthday the other day. I found this out through the wonderful world of Facebook. This reminded me to visit her website. http://juliacameronlive.com/ I first discovered her book The Artist Way about 15 years ago and I… Continue reading

    A little bit of this and that at Hedgehog Hill today. I discovered that nylon ski jackets and wood stoves are natural enemies… hole in my sleeve. But I made a great everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-soup. Started with celery, carrot and green pepper.… Continue reading
