Not sure if I’ve posted this one before as it is a favourite of Emeraude’s… She really gets a kick out of how you mix the whip cream into the jell-o but then it seperates again while cooling. Want a healthier version? add some fresh or canned fruit, almost any are delicious. There [Read more]

Ok, so the article for Turn off the screens week is giving me a hard time… I’d love to blame it on Jackie from whom I’m waiting for a couple numbers but really can’t as I could, in theory, write it out with fake numbers and then just fill them in when I have them. [Read more]
