Food For Thought!



What a cool idea....
Cherry tomatoes and black olives make really cute lady birds. Base is made up of sliced bagettes, cream cheese, smoked salmon and flat leafed parsley. Sprinkle ground black pepper on tomato and using a toothpick dot some cream cheese on the olives for the eyes.

Book Review - Lollipop Shoes - Chocolat II



The follow up to the utterly fabulous `Chocolat' catches up with Vianne Rocher and her daughters Anouk and Rosette, who are now living in Montmartre, Paris under new identities,

Like Chocolat, is filled with magic, mother-daughter relationships, romance, Roux, and of course chocolate.

The story is told in 3 person narratives, at first I thought that having three narrators to tell this tale might be a bit problematic, but it wasn't, the problem lay in the weak story, waffle, induction of unnecessary words and stupid padding!

I never read 'chocolat' but watched the movie, I am have read a few others of Joanne Harris other books and loved everyone but not this none, I only continued to read it as I never walk away from a challenge and in the weak hope it might get better, I was bored from the very start and it didn't get better, extremely disappointed!
