Make Your Own Art
"Art is what you can get away with." Andy Warhol. I'm feeling quite grown-up this week. We're currently considering making our first art purchase (from a real-honest-to-goodness-gallery). As I've said before - I don't mind spending money, but I hate wasting money. (Click here to learn more on how I consciously spend.) The considered piece of art is an ...
Is It Too Early To Talk Christmas?
Is it too early to talk Christmas? (It is November after all) For me, it is a little too early. I have a schedule of how things run this time of year. You may remember it from last year? Christmas planning, at Chez Wright, typically begins once we have attended the village's Remembrance Day parade. This is also around the time the Christmas chutney gets ...

Good job we have a ready to go ...

Parmesan Crusted Salmon with Potato Twirls and Asparagus
When I was selected to submit a dish for the #dinewithaldi challenge I wanted to create a recipe that had minimal and simple ingredients. My personal aim was to present an interesting dish, that looked good enough to be served at a dinner-party. But a dish that was easy to prep and all parts could be baked at the same time. I love food, but I hate faff! ...

A Good News Story For A Monday Morning
In my post "The Definition Of Clutter" I mentioned that May 2012 had been a traumatic time. It was written deliberately ambiguously, not to create suspense, but because I never intended on talking about it here, at the blog. The reason for this is because, as traumatic as it was for me - that trauma paled into insignificance in comparison to the devastation ...
