So this is my lovely little house where I live with my Ma that ive mentioned a few times. It really is teeny! I think it suits the nickname the gingerbread cottage :)
Yesterday was a beautiful day, the sort of day where you peek out of the curtains in the morn, smile, and actually want to get changed out of your pj's. I forced on slid into my bikini (that is very much for my eyes only, now ive started this food blog my belly is loving me but my hips are CERTAINLY not!) and toddled off outside to bask in the warmth with my sausage dog Penny by my side
After a depressingly short amount of time I noticed my skin turning an oh so attractive shade of lobster rouge and had to toddle back indoors
And then I did the only thing there is to do when stuck indoors on a nice day...or ANY day...and that of course is to bake :)
What I rustled up happen to be mine, my mum's, and my mum's partners all time favourite cookie treat, basically I don't think a cookie will ever beat them in our eyes and theres not much higher praise I can give than that! I will hopefully be posting about them tomorrow, sorry to keep you in suspense! They are unassuming morsels but are utterly addictive and are totally exquisite, well worth the wait i promise
I hope you are having a sunny, dreamy lovely week so far, and if the latter part is missing - stop by tomorrow to pick up a recipe that is bound to propel your week into an altogether better place :)
ps if you are still reading this, I may just love you, you are brilliant!
Seriously, you live in a fairy tale cottage! What fun. I would have baked too, although I definitely would have skipped the bikini!
ReplyDeleteLove your gingerbread house! Looking forward to your recipe!
ReplyDelete@Barefeet In The Kitchen Trust me, the bikini has never been viewed by anyone other that my dog and the sheep in the field! I hope they dont judge the cookie-induced podge :)
ReplyDelete@Jill @ Dulce Dough Thank you Jill! I too am rather fond of it, its a little cramped inside but what i like to call homely!
Sasha-
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home!
I would love to send you some extracts, particularly coconut to make a coconut cream pie:) Please contact me or tell me how I can contact you.
Best and Happy Cooking,
Nicole
What a beautiful home. It looks so cozy and comfy. I'm glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to call home!
ReplyDeleteI will light up the all rain- day here with trying your lemon cake recipe and let you know how it turned out.
Have a lovely day,
Nadine

@Kate@FudgyGoodness Kate, thank you massively :) Its on-off bikini weather i have to say, typical british summer! I hope you stop by for the cookie recipe later indeed and it meets your expectations!
This Lemon Drizzle Cake is amazing!
ReplyDelete(I had to try a little piece still warm from the oven.)
And it really brightens up our rainy day here in Switzerland.
So tasty!
Thank you-
Nadine
Nadine you have made my WEEK! Thats such lovely news, it really is moorish stuff but if you can bear to not eat it all at once it also keeps pretty well too :) I am elated it turned out ok for you and glad it makes your rainy day a little less grey :) Thank you for trusting in one of my recipes!
ReplyDeleteps if its possible for you to do Nadine, i would loveeee to see a photo of your cake! If you wanted you could email it to me and i could try and link it to the original post if you would like (im a bit slow on technical stuff so will need to research how!) Thank you again :)
ReplyDeleteAside from your photos, your delightful little cottage and your yummy food ideas, I am so glad to have discovered your blog because you have a wonderful way with words.
ReplyDeleteKeep writing!
Email is on it´s way to you!
ReplyDeleteNadine
That is totally my dream house and yard! It looks really fantastic and cozy.
ReplyDeleteYou are living in my dream cottage Sasha! What a seriously beautiful and original looking home.
ReplyDeleteWow what a niiiice home!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I live in the city, so in an apartment, its nice too but I always dreamt to live in a house one day.
Be happy Sasha, this is awesome.

@Kathleen Richardson Kathleen that means SO much to me you wouldnt understand! Writing more than a couple of sentences that remotely flow is something i always struggled with, as i mentioned in my first ever post my english teacher literally despaired of me! So for you to compliment me on my writing is so unexpected and made my day :) Thank you for your completely lovely comment
ReplyDelete@Idle Wife Thank you so much, it is wonderful that you took the time to compliment my little home, I am indeed rather fond of it :)
@Paula @ Spoons 'n' Spades Thank you Paula! Thats a lovely thing for you to say
@niner from wechooseorganic.com I would love to live in the city (probably London) for a few years, get a job there and the such, but i fear it is so expensive it would only be a temporary thing and i am a country girl at heart :) Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog and comment, i adore your blog, your recipes really make me smile!
Thank you for your kind comment on my blog - what a lovely little cottage :):) I live in a city but envy you your country girl lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute little cottage that you live in. I'd trade you that with my tiny apartment!
ReplyDelete@Emma Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog emma :) there are pro's n con's to any place but I do love living in the country :)
ReplyDelete@Jenn Im sure your apartment is chic and homely rather than tiny Jenn :) You might be downsizing if we traded though as there are only 5 rooms in the entire house!
I LOVE this house!
ReplyDeleteOh you are SO not alone with this change in appearance because of blogging! :) I always wonder why can't my body adapt to my beloved hobby without showing that I love to bake? :D
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your house, so cute!! And also love the recipes :) Keep them coming!
I would love to trade links with you!
