Shrove Tuesday Pancake day

Another year goes by and we get the chance to flip our frying pans, savour pancakes and get creative with bandana designs. I had the theme of Shrove Tuesday and Mardi Gras . I decided to print this bandana to set everything in motion for a special international pancake day.




Someone ate the eggs for the batter ! Luckily I had some pancakes in the freezer. So I rustled up some help from the bandana crew. They peeled and cored the apples, I sautéed them in a teaspoonful of sunflower oil, four tablespoons of hot water and desert spoonful of sugar.




We worked on assembling our pancakes,cranberry sauce first.


Then apples with syrup from the pan.



Finally a pancake on top.




Hope you enjoyed your day and got creative in the kitchen, Happy Shrove Tuesday or for those of our friends over the pond Happy Mardi Gras.

Hello Lulworth Cove, Dorset

The sun was on our side. We took a mad trip to the coast to soak up some rays and breathe some sea air. Starting our journey in the early hours, we miss the traffic ,managing to get to Dorset without stress.

We pulled up safely and opened up the tailgate for breakfast .Getting out the chopping board , we cut the tomatoes,ripped open the packet of baconand fired up the stove to cook our morning pick me up. Finishing off with a mug of tea.

The weather was looking dodgy to start with, the heavens opened. But by the better part of the day, the rain dried up so we could feast in peace, leaving the sun smiling on everyone in Dorset.

I went to Lulworth Cove visitor centre to learn about the landscape, absolutely fascinating, another visit will be needed to take it all in. I had the most amazing mint ice cream in the parlour next door. Thank you for cooling me down.

We stayed over night and woke up to another sunny day after a mug of tea, we headed home to catch the rest of the day. Sharing to another great breakfast with the bandana crew. No rest for the wicked !
