Warm and cosy!

I know that's not the kind of title you'd expect to read on an English post today. It's so hot that it's driven us in from the garden to sit in the living room (coolest room) with the fan blowing and windows thrown wide open... phew...

The subject, or object of my warm and cosy title, is my ipod. My darling son bought it as a christmas present, and though I'm still a bit technically challenged by all the functions and fizzimygigs, I do rather like to listen to my music while washing up or doing a bit of crochet.

I keep it on a little tray next to me with all my other clutter and bits, so worry it may get scratched. Last night I made a cosy little case for it.

I used a nice pretty chunky wooden button and sewed some lace on the flap just because :)

What's everyone eating in this hot weather? None of us are very hungry and we seem to be mainly eating salads.

Last night I thought I'd brave the heat (I know I'm a wimp, a limp wimp in this heat) and use the oven to make some cracked potatoes.

New potatoes boiled then placed on a baking tray. I 'crack' them by gently putting pressure on the back of a spoon.

Lots of chopped red onion and cherry tomatoes.

Nice hunky chunks of mushroom.

Hubby squishing a few cloves of garlic for me.

I like to sprinkle some coarse salt, black pepper and olive oil over it before popping in the oven.

It's a really easy and super tasty supper.

Take care
