Red spaghetti… and a grumpy old woman’s take on the rest of my Chelsea Flower Show 2012 piccies

Posted by thebigfatnoodle on June 3, 2012 · 6 Comments 

Part food post, part flower show As I’d already posted some of the food-oriented images from our trip to the Chelsea Flower Show, I originally set out to focus this post on a staple recipe that has sustained both my husband and I during these last few turbulent weeks. The idea was that I would … Continue reading →

Our edible garden

Posted by thebigfatnoodle on August 11, 2011 · 2 Comments 

Our edible garden I feel horribly, horribly guilty. I have thoroughly neglected our garden this year.
