Barbie Rocks at 50

Barbie made her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week at the fabulous age of 50!

Not many fifty year olds could hit the New York runway in such a fabulous way as Barbie, but the plastic doll proved to every fashionista at New York fashion week that you can still look fabulous when you turn the big 5-0.

Fifty-one designers including Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Donna Karen, Diane Von Furstenberg and Marchesa all made specially-designed outfits to celebrate Barbie’s birthday.

The showed opened with a visual biography of the Barbie story and then flashed into a heart monitor beeping into action, to show that the doll was coming alive.

Fifty-one models strutted down the catwalk in an array of costumes that included a pink, butterfly printed dress from Juicy Couture, a green prom dress from Betsy Johnson and a signature wrap dress from Diane Von Furstenburg.

Organic Fruit and Veg

I've just signed up for Able & Cole's organic veg box.

I've always been reluctant to do this in the past as I've always imagined it would make planning meals a nightmare.

I'll let people know how I get on over the next couple of weeks.

The Nights are Closing in.....

After the salad of a few days ago, which was very nice thank you very much, I fancy some comfort food this evening.

Reason being is I get the definite feeling that Autumn is on it's way....

Now, I don't want to be a preacher of doom and gloom but it was still dark when I got up this morning and the weather is all unsettled.

So, to cut a long story short stew tonight me thinks... Tonights meal.

Salad tonight...

Last nights meal was a great success, almost, everyone loved it.

However it supposed to be getting a little hotter over the next couple of days so I think a salad is in order tonight.

Chicken is always good and Good to Know have some great Quick Recipes.

I found this one: Chicken & Couscous Salad.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Chorizo & Haddock, Yum....

Hello All

As I know I've said before I love Chorizo.

I just found this recipe on the BBC Goodfood site: Chorizo & Haddock.

It sounds lovely, I'm going to pop out and get some haddock and will be serving this up tomorrow.

I'll let everyone know how it goes.

Back after a long break...

I've been away for a while but I'm back to the blog now :) .

In my absense there have been some big changes (for the better) to one of my favourite recipes sites.

Good to Know has completely redesigned the recipe area of their site and it looks so much better.

Check it our here.

Meatballs & Spaghetti

It was meatballs for dinner last night.

Very nice (if I do say so myself).

Didn't have a recipe of my own to follow so went to Goot to Know, a site I use a lot and found this recipe - Herby Meatballs.

The recipe was easy to follow and the result was really tasty.
