Loving Right Now

August 27, 2014 By Kerry Cooks 8 Comments

Happy Wednesday folks! Today I’m sharing a few of the things that I’m most loving right now in my life! First up, 

Lisanthius

 I sometimes feel a little guilty about buying flowers every week (especially as I’m trying to save money to buy a house!). After all, they’re guaranteed to just die pretty quickly! But I love getting a bunch of lisanthius (they definitely have them in tesco for just Β£3.50) – they’re super cheap, and a recent bunch I had lasted three weeks! Plus they’re so pretty – they look like kind of carefree, blowzy roses.

Oasis autumn collection

Oh, so many pretty things that I need to have! Okay, so maybe I can’t afford to buy them all, but the patterned skirt is definitely coming to live with me.

The leftovers

I just started watching The Leftovers, and so far I’m very pleasantly surprised at how good it is (great actors and great music!). But will it live up to its promise or dissolve into a pile of vague nonsensicalness like other Lindelof shows…? Are you watching?

Pumpkin

 If you’ve been reading my blog for the past three autumns, you may have noticed that this is the time of year when I start raving about autumn and including pumpkin in everything I bake, eat and generally come near, including my drinking water. But I can’t help it, because pumpkin is SO delicious and you really should be baking with it, or you’re missing out on a huge amount of deliciousness in your life. Get some pumpkin here, and then make my pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes, pumpkin cream cheese muffins, and pumpkin chocolate chip bread, and you’ll still have at least two cans left for all the new pumpkin recipes I’ve got coming at you this fall (I mean autumn. Obviously.)

 What are you loving right now?

    Yay for all things pumpkin πŸ™‚ I’m hoping the baby stays in my belly until (at least) October 19th. There is a huge Pumpkin Festival just south of Columbus that I really want to go to. The last time I went I had a Pulled Pumpkin Chicken Sandwich, Pumpkin Coffee and Pumpkin Ice Cream! So delicious! Also, I’ve heard really good things about The Leftovers. I was trying to find a way to watch it online but I can’t find it anywhere.

      Wow a pumpkin festival, how amazing!! That all sounds absolutely delicious! Last week I made pumpkin risotto with stilton followed by pumpkin cake for a meal with friends – I will subject everyone to my pumpkin obsession! Hope you get to go!

      Maybe when series 1 comes out on dvd? It is really good! And you’ll have time to watch it when the baby is sleeping! πŸ™‚
