It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but one of my favourite companies sent me a candle to review. I love White Company stuff, and my Mum generally gets me something nice for Christmas from them, so I was thrilled to try out one of their new candle range. It’s a herbal smelling candle, I received ‘Fresh Thyme’ and it smells gorgeous, I can smell some lavender and other herby smells in with it too. The idea behind it is a ‘two in one’ use/present. To have your lush candle and then when it’s finished the ceramic container can be used to grow herbs in.
Now technically I should have used up my candle and grown some herbs in it by now. But frankly it’s got a really long burn time until the candle is finished (I’ve had it a good 2 months) and I’m not trashing a lovely candle until it’s lived it’s life out. However when it’s all used up and I’ve planted it I’ll pop some photos on here so you can see it. It’ll look lovely in my kitchen.

I was cooking tea last night and I realised it was probably a good one to blog as I only invented/discovered it recently.
I am the queen of lazy cooking, I don’t have much time to cook dinner. Mr VP get’s in on the 8pm train, Miss L has to be in bed for 9.30pm so that pretty much gives me what? 30 minutes to cook dinner so we can have a family catch up and eat.
So this is a quick favourite of mine and it’s pretty cheap to make too.
Liz’s Pork with Honey, Garlic and Rosemary
You’ll need:
2 Boneless Pork Chops – our local butcher does these dead cheap.
Honey and 1 Pot of ‘A Good Handful of Garlic and Rosemary’ from Waitrose. (I think other supermarkets do similar, I know Sainsbury’s do.)
Veggies or Salad to your personal taste.
How to Cook:
1. Pop the meat onto a cooking tray, drizzle the honey over it and put 2 teaspoons of the ‘Good Handful’ over each piece of meat. The ‘Handful’ has breadcrumbs in it so it gets a nice crispy top
2. Put it on for 25- 30 mins on 180 degrees/Gas Mark 4
3. Make either a Salad for the summer or in the winter we have it with Mashed Potatoes and veggies.
4. Done!
Told you it was lazy and quick
