Valentine’s day, a Hallmark day to rival any other. Or rather, to stampede on all others. I was once told that florists make more money on Valentine’s day, just this one day, than on every other day of the year combined. I mean, is that just insane? For a completely made up day? .
Merry Christmas everyone! To those of you spending it with friends and family, I wish you a fabulous time at home. For those stranded anywhere because of the snow-pocolypse or for any other reason, believe me, this year in particular, my heart goes out to you. I was *this* close to missing Christmas with my friends, but alas, I’m home and grateful for everything. To everyone, wherever you are, I hope there’s lots of good food involved! .

It’s that time of the year again when you’ve got to dig deep into the recesses of your mind (and pocket) and shell out for some Christmas presents.

Because isn’t that the whole idea of buying presents? Yes, yes it is. .

This time this week, I’m sharing the LOVE! It’s FRIDAY! and out of the kindness of my own heart, I’m giving away some G&B goodies and a copy of their new scrumptious cookbook – a book that will no doubt whip you into the chocolate mistress (or master) of your kitchen. Or boudoir. Whatever tickles your fancy .
WOW it has been competition week in bloggersphere this week! Thanks to American Express, some of us bloggers have been able to give away tickets to awesome events during London Restaurant Festival, hopefully bringing some foodjoy to our readers! I had two scrumptious giveaways: a dinner at The Criterion Restaurant and even more excitingly, an exclusive invite to a special 10-10-10 event at The Blueprint Cafe, pairing chefs Jeremy Lee with Michael Smith from The Three Chimneys in the Isle of Skye for a fabulous lunch valued at £200. So with over 30 entries for each competition, I handed the fate of my readers over to random.org… … and our winners are… .
