I've had enough of the sweet stuff!!

Having just completed a commission order for savoury pieces, I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to STOP creating sweet treats...only for the minute, I'm sure I'll get back to them... sooner, rather than later!!...& make some savoury foods. The trouble is with my minis that before I make a piece out of clay I have to make the "real" thing 1st as I always work from the "real" thing & of course I then have to eat it...can you imagine just how many inches have gone onto my waist & hips & just about everywhere else recently!! It had to stop!




So....having come across an old recipe of my grandmothers for a lovely loin of pork rolled round sausagemeat & apple sauce, I decided to make it, not just for a family meal, but in miniature as well. The only trouble is that it was just so delicious that I managed to consume not only 2nds but 3rds of it, so I think I probably added more to my overall measurements that if I'd had plain old mince & a pud! There's obviously no hope for me. I think I'm just going to get fat & old even more disgracefully than I do now!


Then I decided to carry on in the savoury mode, as I needed to write & photograph a tutorial for CDHM on making a carved chicken....guess what we had for dinner this evening in our house!!

I'm not sure what I'm doing writing this as I'm rapidly running out of time now...I have to leave for my next 3 weeks away from home (& more importantly, my workshop) amongst charming nappies, school runs & spelling tests on Sunday & today is Wednesday....oh dear, sooo much to still get done. Looks like I'll be burnung the midnight oil....again!!
