I wouldn’t say I was a bad cook but my husband refers to the smoke detector as the oven timer.

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch. Cancel reply

This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.

You are a woman after my own heart. You wisely kept the man who accepted your non-cooking persona. I didn’t and have been trying to feed myself ever since! 😀
As long as I’ve been seeing your comments on other blogs I follow, I had not visited you. About time! 🙂

Yes, I’ve seen you about, too. Off to visit you now.
He taught me to cook, btw. He had to: the first meal I ever served him was burnt pasty and chips. I never met a pastry I couldn’t burn.
