My home laptop has died......

Followers may have noticed I haven't been updating these past couple of weeks.

My once reliable Toshiba laptop finally gave up the ghost two weekends ago, after showing signs of overheating and keep shutting down.  It is with the repairers, and I hope they fix it soon because I am getting blog withdrawal symptoms.  I really miss taking photos of my food and uploading them.  I shopped on Sunday in our local second hand and charity shops and now have a whole hoard of photography props and a lightbox, so when I get my laptop back, photos should be of a much better quality and I want to get practising!

In the meantime I have still been very busy in the kitchen.  Last weekend, not only did I produce 22 jars of piccalilli using a mixture of vegetables grown on our allotment, I also made a very successful lime curd at the request of a work colleague's mum.  She sells cakes in her husband's cafe and wants to try sandwiching Victoria sandwich cakes with the lime curd.  I bought a taster in for other colleagues to try and it was a real hit!  So that is another flavour to be added to my vegan fruit curd reportoire.
