		<title>Take Away, eaten in.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The brief for the 70th Birthday was a quiet soiree in the bar, handful of friends, Cornish pasties and stuff a bit like tapas but not really Spanish, more Chinesey or Indian.  Hmm.  For a start the Cornish Pasty has been recently PDO’d so I’m going to quickly point out we made Pasties in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Something else you may have missed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In keeping with my current trend to mention things after the event (see Burns Night below), here are a few snaps of my wares at the St Margaret&#8217;s-at-Cliff Monthly Market this morning.   I was armed with three types of our home-grown sour-dough yeast bread, including onion and potato plus a couple of &#8216;normal&#8217; yeast loaves flavoured with cherry [...]]]></description>

		<title>I wouldn&#8217;t normally mention it but&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In our entranceway, immediately as you step through either of the doors, there is a whopping great blackboard.  On said completely unmissable blackboard was information about our Burn’s Night Supper last night; whisky fried haggis, neeps and tatties, Cranachan and a dram complete with a virtual trip round the Scottish Isles and associated distilleries all for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Drying times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of our more green fingered regulars popped in the other night with mega carrier bag full of herbs from his garden.  Wild fennel, mint, marjoram, garlic – you name it and if it’s possible to grow in a seaside garden on the Kent Coast it was there.  There was nothing for it but to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let them eat brunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s only taken 9 years and the best part of 9 months but finally, today at 10am, we started our 1st  ever breakfast/brunch service. It’s been months in the planning to the extent I’ve a sneaking suspicion that not only the staff, but our loyal regulars were running a book on whether it would actually happen [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Belated Auld Lang Syne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Admittedly, January is usually the month for forward thinking and fresh starts, but what with Christmas, cliff falls, snow and various forms of flu in varying sized family members, forgive me for still being in New Year’s Eve nostalgia mode.  Whilst I am sent back years by the very mention of a Texan bar or [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Last Dram</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last dram in the bottle always makes it a very special dram but it’s made extra specially special when it’s an exceptionally special, and not to mention, fairly rare whisky. Once it’s been poured there’s no more – well, at least not until when/if we get another bottle. Today’s last dram is The Macphunn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Somebody please scrape me off the ceiling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s 1.20 AM.  Now it’s not unusual for me to be up at this time especially as ‘tis the season’ for weddings and some seriously long days slaving over a hot stove.  What is unusual is that I actually finished work, put the children back to bed (for the 14th time), tweeted, placed the veg [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fat Menus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Block you ears, I can feel a rant coming on.  Apparently, a group of 20 so called ‘industry specialists’ have gotten their heads together and believe the idea to enforce all restaurants to put the exact calorific and nutritional value of each dish on every menu is a jolly good one. As you might expect, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hungry Mouths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When No 3 was born last August I vowed I wasn’t having anymore children.  That was until we decided to start making bread from scratch.  Sourdough to be precise, made from a wild yeast starter that once established you have to feed and nurture. Nicknamed ‘the kids’ I’ve suddenly found I’ve four additional mouths to [...]]]></description>
