Today...no.1

Afternoon sunshine....listening to Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker. The first album I heard of his a few years back...hooked now!

I have been listening to my friends express self-doubt over the years and so much of it is based on other people's opinions of them. Someone's opinion of you is usually who they want you to be not who you are. That works in a positive and negative way. Someone can expect too much of you because they want you to be something you aren't, and you don't give another enough of a chance because you don't really know them. We put others into little boxes too easily. Be open with your heart. The more love you give, the more you get, the more you give et cetera.

Was thinking of putting a recipe in everytime I blog because cooking is passion. Poached Pears. Simple and delicious. 4 Firm ripe pears, Juice and zest of 1 lemon, TBSP Brown sugar, 2 Tsp Vanilla extract. Peel pears without removing the stalk. Cut in half keeping pears intact. Core and place in saucepan. Cover with water and add rest of ingredients. Bring to boil and simmer 25-30 mins. Place on plates and serve with greek yoghurt and chopped mint and a little of the cooking juice dribbled over. Enjoy!

  1. Take off and fly...
    "Don’t you know the story of the bumble bee? Aerodynamically speaking, its body is too big for its wingspan.
    But nobody’s told that to the bumble bee, so it takes off – and it flies."
