Well, We have been quite busy lately because we have a new dog. He is a German Shepherd (sp) or Alsation as they used to be called. He is 16 months old and has a lot of puppy ways and he is called Hector. He needs lot of walks which is one of the reasons I thought a new pet would be good and BOY!  Is he making me walk?! We have just come back from a long walk. We let him off his lead for the first time, I was quite worried incase he ran off but he was great and stayed right beside us but when we got onto the field he had a good run around and amazingly he actually wore himself out and my 15 year old son, Adam was running faster then him at the finish.
He hates the vacuum and tries to bite it, he also hates the phone and guards it whenever anyone walks past it, he also hates the shredder and the loft ladders....he is so DAFT!
He is a loyal friend and a great walking companion!

Okay, to other things. It is still windy here in the UK and it is driving me batty. We have had wind most days for weeks now.

Here are some photo's - Oh! And I will get a pic of our dog on here, maybe later today.

New Books and DVD, the DVD came with the 'Going Raw' book.

A few cutesies, and check out that garlic press.....it's PINK!

A mango splitter and worth every penny....this is BRILLIANT! Check out the next pic.

Brillaint or what??

A mini chopper I bought at Costco, we all need a mini chopper!

Grains. I have finely found somewhere that stocks Rye, spelt and Kamut grain and oatgroats. I was so pleased.

I found these Tomeberries in Costco. I have never seen them before so I had to buy and try. They are very nice!

Here is a pic of a Beef tomato, salad tomato and the tomberries. I didn't have any cherry tomatoes to compare size but these tombarries are even smaller than cherry tomatoes and FABULOUS in salads.

I have some sliced Aubergine (eggplant) dehydrating as crackers. I put some of the slices in Olive oil and nutritional yeast to make a cheesy cracker and they are yummy! They are still dehydrating but hey! I had to try one, two, three before they are done....the beauty of raw foods.

*UPDATED*

I decided to do a little video of the pooch. He is a right lemon. He has a habit of diving/jumping up at us at the moment, mind you, I did sort of aggrevate him, you will see him do his dive at the end of the video - FORTUNATELY I live to tell the tale....teehee

Oh! By the way, the pink flip flops are Hectors....now....his chew flops....teehee

Back later.

Finally I should be able to update regularly. We have had problems with our computer but thanks to my Brother In Law it is sorted.....YeeHee
Back later today or tomorrow....got a lot of catching up to do for now.

Been going through a few things these last few days, actually, I have been going through a few things for a good couple of month but things came to a head over these last few days, I'm not going to talk about them but thankfully I am feeling a tad better and I am back and ready to get on with things again. "Picking myself up, dusting myself off and starting all over again!!"
Weigh day tomorrow and I am not expecting a miracle....do they even happen?....Ummm

I am going to prepare a few things in my kitchen tonight i.e. almonds for milk and flour and I also want to make some cheese.
I am maybe going to start my Zumba tomorrow and get back into my rota's, yep I am feeling a tad better.....thank goodness!!!

Myself and my husband are celebrating our 29th Wedding Anniversary today....GO US! We celebrate our Pearl Wedding Anniversary next year....WOW!

Here are a few pics of some of my buys this month.

Cuisinart Hand Blender

Ceramic Knives

These looked like toys to me when I opened the parcel but believe me, they ain't toys, they are blummin sharp, so much so I cut my thumb with the first use.

Ann Wigmores Book

This is fab! It is full of info and recipe's

Seduced E-Book

An E-book full of chocolate recipe's...YUM!

If you want to buy this e-book then click, 'Better Raw'

Raw Cheese Recipes E-Book

An E-book full of cheese recipes, bread, crackers and sauces that all go lovely with the various cheese recipes.....PERFECT!

If you want to buy this e-book then click, 'Russel James'

I made the bread recipe from this 'Raw Cheese' book and I have to say it is SOOO YUMMY! I read in another blog that when the lady made the bread recipe she found it a little hard to swallow and I have to agree the same, that it is a tad hard to swallow as it is a rather dense recipe, although, I was eating it alone without any cheese, so maybe if I had eaten it along with cheese then it may not have been as hard to swallow, but still worth making

Garlic Bread

The BEST raw bread recipe I have found and tasted.

I also bought an egg mould to make the Cream Eggs from the 'Seduced' e-book, so as soon as I get the eggs made then I will post a pic of those here.

Another little thing I bought was a palette of makeup by Jemma Kidd.

Well, there is nothing else to report for now, so I will be back later.

Or whats left of it, well it is still Easter Monday.
I am back to blogging daily now and I will get those pics uploaded today, actually I am hoping to make and upload some raw Easter Egg pictures today also. I bought an e-book called 'Seduced' which is fab and it is in this book that the Easter Egg recipe is in - if you are interested in Tanya's e-book then here is the link: SEDUCED

Right then, I am off to get on with a few jobs around here, oh! And I must get my housework rota updated so I will be back very soon, later today

Sorry I haven't been around lately, I haven't been feeling the best what with a dicky tummy and depression! I am on tablets for depression but sometimes it still gets the better of me, anyway, lets not talk about that eh?
We went for a huge grocery shop last week so I am still well stocked up, actually, I have to confess to not sticking to raw at all lately and I feel that because of this that is why my tummy hasn't been feeling the best and with a tad of constipation also....you really wanted to know that didn't you?...teehee - overall I haven't been feeling well at all and I still have a dicky tummy so I am back with STICKING to my raw food. For breakfast this morning I had berries and ground up brazils.

I have grapes; strawberries; blueberries and raspberries in there. I used to HATE raspberries but now I LOVE them...YUM! I first bought them a few weeks ago at Coscto to see if I still hated them but to my suprise they were so YUMMY! Maybe our tastes change as we get older or maybe it is because of incorporating more raw into my life over the last few years.

When we were in Costco last week they had a Cuisinart handblender on display and as soon as I see Cuisinart, well, I drool...teehee and my hubby knows that - I bought one, I don't particularly need one because I have a Rosemary Conley handblender but my hubby insists that because it is a Cuisinart it is bound to be better and that I needed to buy it, well, we don't go out drinking and it is only once a month usually when we treat ourselves.
I ordered some ceramic knives which arrived yesterday....BRILLIANT! So pleased with those also. I bought a few other things, I will post pics later today but in the meantime here are a few pics of the BEAUTIFUL Bluebells in my garden.

Back later today with more pics. I must go and update rota pages now.

I have been suffering with a migraine but I have managed to update my rota pages.

I am going for our big grocery shop tomorrow, nice fresh produce!...YUM!!

I will be back tomorrow
