Onion Bhajis 2 Hello everyone BBC2 here, I hope you are well, as part of the Burmese Style Chicken Curry recipe I made for our good friend and chief taster Liz, I also thought it would be a good idea to try using different spices for the onion bhajis and Lamb Keema Naan bread to … Continue reading
Lamb Keema Naan: Hi everyone BBC2 here, looking back at the last post I have some work to do with regards my communication skills. When I said about cooking Burmese Style Chicken Curry for Christmas dinner what I meant to say is, that we can have anything we want as we are not catering for … Continue reading
Sorry we can’t be there in person… …to accept these wonderful awards! Alright, we know it doesn’t work like that really, but we are so late in accepting them and saying thank you it kinda seems like that! Anyway, we have three awards that we received in the last couple of weeks to acknowledge and … Continue reading
Burmese Style Chicken Curry Hi everyone BBC2 here, we are getting closer to Christmas…you only have to watch anything on television or listen to the radio to be reminded that we are in December (although it did start in October!). I know that Christmas has become so commercial these days but, given all that, it … Continue reading
Awards and song dedications… What a week! We have been just a ‘tad’ busy.

Firstly we were given the ‘WordPressFamily’ Award by the fabulous … Continue reading

Carrying on with the thriftiness theme we have been developing, we would like to share three recipes with you over the coming days.

Hi folks, BBC2 here, hope you had a good weekend and I hope you are coping with the build up to Christmas! Everywhere I look someone or something is telling me it’s that time of year when I should spend my money (leaves me cold) when I’ve done my best to hang onto it all … Continue reading
Hello everyone! BBC2 here, with a big thank-you to you all for dropping by and reading our blog. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank BBC1 for his very excellent Chinese meal – Stir Fried Beef, Vegetables and Noodles, which he cooked for us the other night. I know that BBC1 has … Continue reading
BBC1: OMG! I did something for the first time in my life tonight…I made a Chinese ‘ish’ meal (I say ‘ish’ because I have mingled several recipes and cannot vouch for their Chinese authenticity…nor would I be so bold, on my first attempt, to make that claim!) For those who have been following the blog, … Continue reading
Hello again people! BBC1 here. You may have seen our ‘Happy Birthday’ post on Saturday, where we wished Dr Who and our Max and his brother Teddy a very happy birthday.
