American Pizza Slice

The joy of facebook, means we can easily recommend things.One of my bf's chums had posted a picture of a 18 inch pizza. Not only was it massive, but you got to choose different toppings on every slice. Almost mythical, was this the perfect sharing pizza? Or was there far to many decisions to be made?
I thought it was fantastic, but needed a special occasion for such a mythical thing. Two weeks have gone by and we have found the occasion Jersey Shore finale baby.
A meal totally worthy of Pauly D and Vinny. Not only that but it offers cream soda's as drinks. Madness.
Now for the big decision what toppings are we going to have, which we all have to be present for.
Waiting for Andrew to come home from football, before we even open up the website.
The boys both get three slices and as I eat like a wimp i get two.
First Slice
Stuwy: American hot
Andrew:PEPPERONI & ONION
Me : Philly cheese steak pizza
Second Slice
Stuwy: Spiced chicken
Andrew : Fish
Third Slice
Stuwy: American Hot
Me : Med veg with Goats cheese
Stuwy:Salami and Sweet Onion
Andrew: American Hot

And 3 Cheesy Garlic Breads to start.
American Pizza slice is the way forward.

It was totally delicious and waiting until 10 eat it was well worth the wait.
Unfortunatly we realised there is another episode next week. Pizza time again.

Pray for Japan (with music)

With the heartbreak being felt across Japan, it is no wonder that everyone is trying to do their best to help in any way they can. It is quite something the efforts that have been put in place throughout the world, with people happily thinking up creative ways to fund raise.

What i find even more lovely is Japanese Record Label Rallye producing a compilation album entitled Pray for Japan (with music) Volumne 1. Even though their own lives have been turned around by the devastation in their country they remain positive and an inspiration.

I hope everyone buys the album. It is not only lovely music but ALL proceeds go to the Japan Relief project.

Here is the link



Artists include, One day diary, Eberg,cassette culture,Kowalski,CALLmeKAT, Old arc,New buffalo,Guther and many more

Here are a couple of the gems







So go on itunes and treat yourself.

Pacey and Joey 4eva

Growing up Dawson’s Creek had a greater effect than any literature and any film. It is essentially about love. Before the days of Gossip girl, One tree hill, The OC. It wasn’t about rich kids it was a group of average kids growing up together, I suppose it helped that they were of similar age to me. None of them were popular kids, they used vocabulary far beyond reality.

At 12o’clock every Sunday I was glued to the TV. I had one problem I hated the lead role, i hated his personality, his clothes, the size of his forehead, his voice, how the actor was obviously far older than the character he was portraying and the high possibility that he would in fact win the girl (Joey). This was my biggest issue, the show made me into a romantic, by the end of the first season, I had made my mind up Dawson did not deserve Joey. As often as it was reinforced that they were “soul mates”, them getting together wasn’t going to be romantic passionate or impulsive. If everyone got together with their childhood friend or next door neighbour life would be so boring so unromantic and so predictable.

My favourite moment ever on TV is when Pacey buys Joey the wall, before they have kissed, before he even believes he has a chance.

It is the most romantic gesture that i believe exists. Till this day i don’t know anything that tops it. I was reading a fan forum to see who people wanted Joey to choose and it had Top Joey and Pacey moments and Top Joey and Dawson moments. Dawson and Joey moments where mostly un requited love, moments of things not happening and long conversations about feelings.
Joey and Pacey moments are passionate, sexy, flirtatious and more realistic. Undoubtedly part of the reason would probably be down to the fact that they dated in real life both citing they were each others first loves and the chemistry shone through.
I have recently bought the full box set and have started watching it over again, not quite knowing what is going to happen and not ever wanting to switch it off.
Some things i noted ·

-They were richer than i remembered. ·
-Their fashion sense was terrible ·
-Joey is pretty, but Jen is prettier ·
-Pacey wasn’t handsome and had terrible shirts ·
-Dawson was more self centered than you could imagine ·
-Eve didn’t take Dawson’s virginity
-Jen was never really that rebellious ·
-Jack and Jen are nearly as good a couple as Joey and Pacey
-As soon as Audrey became depressed she also became a goth
-Every boy falls in love with Joey
-The soundtrack is immense

Whether it is because it was old memories or that it is infact the best teenage drama around.I urge everyone to watch it, the boxset will fulfill plenty of lonely nights and if you are a sop even better.

I Love Beef Welly

Rain hair, pretty dress

My boyfriend and I fancy ourselves as chef's always trying to compete with Great British Menu and Master Chef. We have so far mastered Victoria sponge (tasted like egg) Thai Curry's (with out using bought pastes), Salmon teriaki, Duck a la Fanta (If Nigella could do it with coke and ham:)), duck five spice, treacle tart, french onion soup Lancashire hotpot, Fish Pie and our specialty a Banging chicken pie!

For a special romantic meal recently and while my mum was offering to buy us a beef fillet be decided to go for a Beef Wellington. The food of kings. We have gone to cook it before many times, but between having temperamental student flat ovens and the hefty price to buy all the ingredients separately we have never got round to it.

Looking at recipes, we didn't want mushroom's. Mushroom's are vile. It was apparent lots of people had a similar dilemma, but it was hard to find a recipe without it, so being the nifty chef's we are we decided to wing it.

Pink in the middle

Here is our recipe

800g Beef fillet
100ml dry white wine

100g shallots

500g Just roll puff pastry

1 Onion

25g butter

2 garlic cloves

100g Liver pate

1 sprig of thyme

1 egg

1. Start by heating the oven 220c

2. Season and rub the fillet in Olive oil and place on baking tray for 18mins or 24mins if you want it medium/well

3. Allow the beef to cool while you start the rest of the prep

4. Chop up the onion and shallots very finely and cook in the heated butter, when soft add the garlic, thyme and season.

5. Add the white wine to the onions and heat until all the wine disappears.

6. remove from heat and allow to cool down (until it is cool enough to touch)

7. While you are waiting dust some flour on a clean surface and roll out the pastry big enough to cover the whole fillet

8. Add the onion mixture to the pate and mix evenly.

9. Spread the pate on to the rolled out pastry, quite thickly and evenly.

10. Place the fillet on and fold up edges so it covers it nice and neatly

11. Whisk the egg and paint the pastry and place on baking sheet seams to the bottom

12. Bake for 40mins until the pastry has nicely puffed up.

13. Leave to stand and serve with some green beans and gravy.

Table all set up.

Zara's pretty this summer.

Peekaboo flash panel dress£35.99

Polka dot dress £39.99
Pique Dress £29.99 Personal Fave

Floral print scarf £29.99
City leather "Briefcase" satchel £59.99

Zara have hit the mark again with this season's collection. You can spend alot or spend a little and look fabulous.

I havn't seen anything similiar to the Peek a boo dress at the top, you could wear it to a business meeting or out shopping.

I am loving the girly dresses with the puffed out skirts, all over the high street at the moment but these are two of my fav's.
The scarf is great as it will add a dash of colour without being to too harsh.

Nothing more comforting that a real leather handbag and the smell of leather when you first buy it.

Good job Zara.

Naughty Gnome




A gnome who joined a nudist colony only two weeks ago was asked to leave because he kept poking his nose into everybody’s business.

I hope you are a Gnome fan now.
