Not only that but there are christmas presents to knit as I may not get time with having a little one, but my friend is starting up her own photography company which you should be able to view from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/alexandramarniephotography?fref=ts" target="_blank">here</a> so I am knitting her a few props.</span><br />

Minus all the rubble Malta was lovely especially her sister islands Comino which holds the Blue Lagoon and Gozo which was so lush and green! We were lucky enough to meet 3 other lovely couples which is always nice. shall we have a looksie at some pictures?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to the Blue Lagoon a few times since it was across the water from our hotel. WE went to Gozo on the ferry. We went on an open top bus to Valletta and Mdina where we rode in a horse and carriage, on a little train round the countryside up to Mtarfa the highest point. We went on a harbour cruise round Sliema and Valletta. We went on a giant catamaran to Sicily. Went round a greek amphitheater in Taormina before having lunch up on the summit of Mount Etna (an active volcano) yes we like our volcanos as this is the second we have been up and both have been active.</span><br />

They were supported by Magnus Puto who I got to meet and Suburban Legends who I met half of. Suburban Legends are well worth a listen they sung a rendition of "I just cant wait to be king". They were electrifying to watch as they danced to their high energy songs with awesome choreography. </span><br />

Its really simple and tasty! You cut your skinless chicken breasts into strips. Have three bowls ready of grated cheese, milk and breadcrumbs. You dip the chicken in milk then the cheese then the breadcrumbs. Put on a baking tray lined with good ole greaseproof paper and bake them till the chicken has cooked. I served mine with sauteed asparagus, baby sweetcorn, sugar snap peas and mushrooms.</span>tinky_la_bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02527411219863018724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336519525307915068.post-91913210813980470142013-03-07T18:26:00.002+00:002013-03-07T18:26:59.410+00:00I know useless!<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know I know I'm blooming useless!

My sisters friend sarah who lives in Bloomington commented now I live in the UK and was going to struggle with this one. I then found out that my sister was flying out for her birthday so "lightbulb" happened and I got on with making her some fingerless gloves that ash could take with her. And here they are!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly I am not going to let my weight bother me as I am going to do something about it. Who cares if it takes me a year to slim down and tone up! I will do it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondly I am not going to cling to people who I think are good for me but turn out to be nasty, backstabbing cows lol! I will just surround myself with people who deserve me. By that I mean, those who keep in touch, make me enjoy myself and vice versa.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thirdly I will surprise Steven with a holiday Im thinking Malta :) </span>tinky_la_bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02527411219863018724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336519525307915068.post-58655554673543590782013-01-06T14:18:00.000+00:002013-01-06T14:18:06.932+00:00new beginningsRight first things first! Happy new year my lovelies! Thank you for putting up with my irregular posting, my random personal posts the happy and the downright emo. But my plan is too start making at least one crafty post a week.<br />
On a healthy note I say healthy I cant give up cheese lol! I have been using the Hairy Dieters cookbook. I have made the stuffed peppers (next time I will omit the nuts they were just odd), lasagne (need much bigger leeks! and Steven needs it more tomatoe-y), the chicken and mushroom risotto (it was fairly bland, needs more black pepper). I am later tonight going to attempt some granola so I will take pictures if I remember. I will also post my banana bread recipe tomorrow too.tinky_la_bellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02527411219863018724noreply@blogger.com0
