We love doing taste tests as a family. They take a bit of prep and organising but they are fun and means we get to try loads of different varieties of foods. This time we thought we would taste test sausages. There are loads of different ones and new products seem to be appearing all…
It can be a dangerous business sending your other half to do some shopping. Can you pop in the supermarket on the way home and grab some mushrooms I said. No problem he said. I should have been suspicious when he was back rather later than expected. Then he produced this like a magician from…
