Meal Planning Monday 2017 - Week 46
Posted on 12:32 PM by Astrid Kroschel
This week I'm not having my usual working from home day on a Tuesday as I'm at an internal comms seminar followed by an awards event at which I am shortlisted for two national awards (ahem - again - I've won them both over the past two years!). They are Best Editor and Best Writer from the Institute of Internal Communications but as I've been in this industry for more than three years now, I'm starting to get to know people and know that there is definitely some stiff competition!
Then at the weekend my parents are coming to visit which I...

Review: Club Cala Romani, Majorca
Posted on 9:58 AM by Astrid Kroschel
At the very end of summer I went on holiday with two girl friends to Majorca. We wanted a cheap and cheerful week (or almost week) in the sun, and with three of us wanting to fly from different airports, returning home on different dates, with different budgets and different requirements in mind, it was never going to be easy!
We found Club Cala Romani on lastminute.com and agreed to book it; I'd been quite busy at work at the time and didn't...

These two cards are mainly made from a mini set that contained a few pieces of patterned paper and one sheet of die cuts. I think they are quite fun but there is also something a bit masculine about them, I think because of the colours and also the geometrical shapes.
On the first card, I covered a square card blank with the patterned paper and mounted a die cut tree with adhesive pads. It's also a little hard to see but there are a few tiny...

Meal Planning Monday 2017 - Week 45
Posted on 2:01 PM by Astrid Kroschel
I have a day off this week to visit some nurseries - I was staggered when I found out recently that our local ones have a one-year waiting list. It's lucky I asked when I did! I'm then working from home the following day to have a repeat scan - everything was fine at the last one but there was one thing they needed to check but couldn't as baby was lying the wrong way around and wouldn't move!
Monday
Breakfast Didn't get time for breakfast today
Lunch Leftover curry from Sunday
Dinner Strangely didn't fancy eating tonight after I cooked dinner...

Fish in Lemon Cream Sauce with Hasselback Potatoes
Posted on 2:33 PM by Astrid Kroschel
My mother-in-law came to dinner recently and as she’s vegetarian and I don’t eat a lot of purely vegetarian food, that always involves a bit of thought around menu planning. Then I remembered that she is actually pescetarian, meaning she eats some – but not all – types of fish. She likes white fish and I had some in the freezer.
I don't eat fish as often as I should, as my husband doesn't like it and I find plain fish quite dull, so it needs a...
