I've started watching 10000BC on Channel 5. Always intrigued by these type of social experiments (I was gripped by Living In The Past in the 70's) it's fascinating to see specifically what a decent meal means to us humans. Until something is taken away, it's sometimes hard to fully appreciate how much we truly would miss something were it not ...
Have You Seen My Sense Of Humour Anywhere?
Things have been getting so intense over here at Chez Wright. It's definitely reflected in my writing. So glad you Guys have stuck around. I'm starting to bore myself, I don't know how it feels for you. Boring maybe? Too serious? Have you seen my sense of humour anywhere? ...
Food Waste Friday / I looked Inside
Each week since March 2008, in order to motivate her to waste less food, Kristen The Frugal Girl, has posted a picture of any food that has gone bad over the last seven days. She found this embarrassing practice so helpful, to her, that she invited other bloggers to post their own photos, and Food Waste Friday was born. I started participating in October ...
Open House / What Friends Are For
It was the Hubby's birthday yesterday. Every year, for every birthday, we bake a cake. After all, I am a huge advocate of making your own birthday cakes. See the recipe here. This year, however, baking a cake was off the menu. With my lack of mobility, and reliance on doing everything one-handed, even with the Kids assistance it would have been a ...
Don’t Know Where To Start?
A recurrent theme throughout my life has been inability to act due to simply not knowing where to start. Or not starting something because I feel overwhelmed with the amount to do. Translation - again not knowing where to start. This is a subject I've posted about before - although not quite the same theme - it was something very similar. Remember 'Just ...
No Waste Tastes Great / Out Of Routine
I'm struggling to get into any kind of routine this year. Never mind a No Waste Tastes Great routine. Last Friday I was being discharged from hospital following surgery, my Friday fridge the week before that was utter chaos, and going back to 9 January I was at my father's funeral. ...
Open House / Have A Little Patience
It's been a while since there's been an open house. The timing felt right today. It is Thursday after all. A week has passed since my hip surgery and I'm feeling pretty good, although immobile - hobbling around on crutches. 1 week down, another 3 to go. I keep reminding myself that one day at a time is being ticked off, slowly and surely heading toward ...
Food Waste Friday / No Clue What’s In My Fridge
It's Friday. It's Food Waste Friday. It's my week to host after being kindly invited to do so by Kristen. So wherever I am and whatever I am doing - Food Waste Friday happens. (if you're participating please remember the hashtag on social media #FoodWasteFriday) It's likely I'm lying in a hospital bed recovering from surgery this morning. ...
Leaps Of Faith
It happens to me every time. There's a deadline, and I have grand plans to be prepared or super organised, but then I run out of time. I don't get everything done. Rewind 5 years or so and my previous self would panic and delay the deadline, or even cancel the event itself. Wanting the timing to be perfect. But there is no such thing as perfect. ...
No Waste Tastes Great 2015 Uncensored
Each Friday I participate in Food Waste Friday (hosting on alternate weeks when Kristen isn't - she is today so head on over and link up!) What's worked for me is having a Friday routine which I do come rain or shine (okay so maybe not last week but I had my reasons). This routine hasn't fundamentally changed in over 4 years. I'm walking through it today. ...
