Whew, my kitchen has the air of a bomb having gone Whew, my kitchen has the air of a bomb having gone off in it, but here's my lovely Spinach and Prawn Curry with Pineapple and Mango Chutney and basmati rice as made with Aklima on tonight's cooking class with @migratefuluk
After a lovely brunch with some of the Killearn la After a lovely brunch with some of the Killearn ladies at the Smiddy near Stirling (which wasn't the original plan, but when there's a storm induced power cut at your first choice, you have to roll with it!) we found ourselves at Kaleidoscope, near Kippen, for a stash building adventure in the dark (same power cut and very trusting owners!). Now I'm gearing up for a class with @migratefuluk for the #saturdaynightcraftalong with @charmaboutyou

We shipped in aunts, uncles and friends to become a somewhat loud party of 8 We spent a fabulous Sunday evening/night and Monday morning in @northcoteuk enjoying cake (which we brought in from a local bakery to mum and dad's, and which had photos all round before it was cannibalised in the first pic) and a 5 course gourmet menu (I had the veggie option, although full carnivore version was available) which demonstrated exactly why they have a Michelin ⭐ and a lovely Eggs Benedict for breakfast the next morning. We dined in the chef's kitchen, which was great fun as it's a wee room off the main kitchen for the hotel, separated by a glass wall/doors, so we could see the chefs actually making all the food for the dining room that night (this was no doubt also a bonus for the other diners not having to hear all the deaf Irishmen/women shouting at each other over dinner 😂) ETA, Jack was hosting his own debauched shenanigans back in Glasgow, so he asked his cousin Skipp to represent him for the weekend
