No Waste Tastes Great By Candlelight

February 14, 2014 by SimplyBeingMum

It’s Friday Guys – time for No Waste Tastes Great

This week’s No Waste Tastes Great is brought to you by candlelight.

Is this because it’s Valentine’s Day?

Or rather because we have had no power since mid-afternoon?

The latter.

There was a post planned today, albeit a little later than usual.

I knew today’s post would be delayed as I had a busy day ahead. Of great importance was getting a friend’s cake finished, and set up at the venue, for a party this evening.

40 cake

I’m now typing at 8pm, we should be at the party by now.

So no Friday fridge this Valentines day.

Just a warm ‘Happy Valentines’ to you all.

Normal service will resume next Friday. And I’ll be back over the weekend with a little something I hoped to share today.

But the curse of St Valentine had other plans for me. Did you spot the full moon in the photo? 🙂

How’s your Valentine’s Day 2014 going?

No Waste Tastes Great is brought to you as always with thanks to Kristen The Frugal Girl as part of Food Waste Friday.

    Love the photo with the candles and the moon in the background!!! I had to take a 2nd look after you mentioned it! I’ve started writing down my food waste as I go each week and it is starting to make a difference! yay! I think (I’m away from my planner…) that I have only had a handful of beans this week. A gigantic improvement over last week which I won’t elaborate on for the shame of it! (let’s just say it took up quite a few lines in the bottom of my planner!!)
    Hope you aren’t being too badly affected by the weather. I have been looking at the BBC website with all the flood warnings! Sounds positively biblical over there! Given that our seasons often mimic each other, we’d better get on with building an ark for winter 🙂
    We had this amazing graphic in our local paper online from NASA showing the storm system over the UK – Amazing to look at, not so amazing to be in I’m guessing! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11201698
    Hope the storms go away soon!

    Hope by the time you read this, you’re using candles only for mood lighting. Beautiful cake as always.

Welcome to SimplyBeingMum – one mother’s personal website documenting the journey toward a family life simply done.Here you will find a collection of recipes, ideas, musings and philosophies related to families who feel a pull toward a more conscious, mindful and simpler way of life.

You don’t have to homeschool or bake your own bread daily (I do neither of those things – well actually I do homeschool now we are in lockdown!) to hang out here. At whatever stage of your journey, you are on, you are very welcome. I personally still have a long way left down my own path and find that by blogging about it, it helps to keep me on track.

Please stay a while, have a meander around, see what takes your interest, and do join in the discussion.
