A Bloody Mary once saved my life and I’m not even lying My friends and I rented a big ass mansion in the Valleys one cold weekend (there was a hot tub, we got very pissed) and I woke up feeling like I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I don’t do well with … Continue reading BLOODY MIKEY
Maple. Rosemary. Butter. Bacon. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse uniting to drag me straight to hell because I haven’t given you this recipe sooner. Those four words together on your screen? Magical? Those four things together in your mouth? Game changer. I’ve only recently started roasting my bacon and I must say I’ve been quite … Continue reading MAPLE ROSEMARY BUTTER BACON

So I recently got back from Vegas. Someone had to do it. I’ll also throw in that it was first class both ways, just in case you didn’t think I was enough of a bellend. Now it’s a few weeks later and my tan is holding on by the skin of its fingertips and I’m … Continue reading EASY WAFFLES

Remember the post where I said I don’t romanticise breakfast from Monday to Friday? Well here is the romantic Sunday breakfast that is the antithesis of that post. Well… maybe romantic is the wrong word. I’m not sure how some potato cakes and pickles qualify as romantic, so let’s call this breakfast “more than toast”, … Continue reading DIRTY POTATO & LEEK CAKES WITH QUICK PICKLED CUCUMBERS
