80's Christmas Smell = Chemical Plastic

It is so cold here in London, I know we are total wimps and I'm sure most of you have to put up with worst.  It's just I dress like a crazy bag lady in this weather, I have to wear about five layers plus leggings to leave the house. So I have had no time to blog read to night as I dyed my hair (black) and had my wonderful friend Kat phoned me, so nice to hear a friends voice when you haven't been able to see them. Thank you so much for all your comments, you lot are so bloody lovely, and I do read them all (So don't ever think I don't notice how fab you lot are).

So Barry (my bloke) got these tacky decorations, as you know our son attacked the tree so it feel a little flat. Trust Barry to put the smile back on my face, they are like the old 80's hanging stuff (they smell of chemical plastic) when I smelt them ..Yes I'm freaky I smell things sometimes I remember being a kid and helping my mum put them up. Who knew that the smell of chemical plastic was one which reminded me of Christmas, true 80's kid ...not joking smell them and that was the smell of Christmas in the 80's MENTAL!

Tomorrow I will wrap presents, I love wrapping and giving them. Barry is like a big kid at Christmas and I love getting him something that puts a smile on his face, this year has been hard to get for him as I would have loved to buy spoil him as he has been amazing this year. So I vowed I would cook more .......and I have ! I know as the girl and you can quote me who said 'I burn water' I cooked and he loved it. Barry is a legend in the kitchen and so this was major, even my mum said that it was so yummy. I cooked a fresh paste with cream cheese (instead of goats cheese) and veg, and I made the sweet potatoes recipe that I shared with you off the Channel 4 website in this POST ....

This was taken with my phone.

They were so, so tasty great for when you have had a long day and need something hot and simple plus tasty !

So you can do it, the trick is to stick to a simple recipe and pick something you like, sometimes people try new things when cooking rather than something they eat but with an edge. Anyway I will be trying more so stay tuned, oh and I will be doing some face mask reviews too. So got a lot coming ...................
