My Signature Dish

My friend Cherry asked me the other day what my signature dish is!  Someone who loves cooking, has an online shop selling kitchenalia and who would be the first person my friends would say had perfected a signature dish - does not have a signature dish!! Ahh
Well I think I should.  I'm good at lots of dishes and useless at others!  I've narrowed it down to the following that I am good at and always proud of when I serve it.

Plum Jam - Not really a dish is it?

Tray Meringue with mixed berries and creme fraiche - easy and boring

Beef Bourguignon

Stuffed Cabbage Leaves - Probably my best dish - really yummy





So having put it in writing I actually think that Stuffed Cabbage Leaves is my signature dish however that sounds very unappealing if anyone asks!!!  If any of my friends that have sampled any of the above that I have made them maybe you can comment!
Going to get my friends and family to tell me what they think and am determined to have a signature dish declared by the end of the month!!

Vintage Amateur Photography

Oh my word I have been shown how to put special effects onto your photos which will change my photos forever!!!!  We went round to some fabulous friends for drinks on Friday night and spent most of the evening swapping clever apps from our phones.  As a Vintage lover and seller of Kitchenalia some of these apps are a godsend!!  'Vintage Camera' and 'Camera Art Fx' change your photos and give them an effect.  I went around my kitchen taking photos and trying out all the effects and here are the results....

My Log burner in my kitchen with a vintage tinge.

Egg cups on my dresser with a watercolour effect



Scales on my worktop with a poster effect

My glasses on the worktop with a vintage effect

 Cannisters with a comic book style

 Me in a blurry retro effect



 My stall at Olney on Saturday looking very old!!!

So so clever and add interest, depth and change the era of the photo in just one small click! Whatever next??
