Hectic

Hello Everyone

Sorry for the lateness in this blog.  The weekend was a hectec one.  Hannah and Chris are getting married early next year, so we have been sorting out invitations.  

Wedding invitations are really expensive apparently, so Hannah decided it would be a good idea to hand make them all.  Nice idea...but when each invite is specially wrapped in a hand made gift box containing all sorts of random bits (like french sweets, hand made heart cushions stuffed with lavender, luggage tags etc etc) and all of which 'HAD' to be perfectly positioned, it can take a bit of time to put together.  So there we were, sitting around a table all weekend putting together wedding invitations.

If this music thing doesn't work out, I think we'll start a wedding invitation business...

(btw, they are getting married in france, hence the reference to french sweets and luggage tags)

Talking of the wedding, i've stupidly volunteered to bake the wedding cake.  Ok, embarrassingly my one and only 'A' at GCSE exams in school was in cooking, but I think I'm probably going to fuck up.  Ah well. 


(this is the worlds largest wedding cake.  that could be fun - i'll try beat the record...)

Last Wednesday night we had some photos taken by a talented up and coming photographer called Ed Schofield (you can see some of his work here - www.flickr.com/photos/edschofield)

Here is a glimpse of a few promo shots he took for us...we'll add the rest of the photos in a week or so -





More from us soon

Something to do...

Hi its Chris here!

I thought I'd give you something to do for the weekend just in case you have time to kill (and your hungry)...

You may have seen on our video blogs that I love cooking. And eating.
A while ago James and I got very addicted to a particular recipe for peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies. We made these cookies 2-3 times a week. It turned into an obsession. We had to go cold turkey for 2 weeks to stop ourselves from exploding.
Heres how to make the BEST EVER peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies in the world.


Ingredients
½ cup butter or margarine softened
¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup smooth Peanut Butter
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1-¼ cups plain flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup Cadburys Bourneville Dark Chocolate, broken into chunks

Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 F
2. Beat butter, sugar and peanut butter in medium bowl until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt, add to butter mixture, blending well. Stir in dark chocolate chunks. Drop rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 12-14 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet. Remove to wire rack, cool completely or serve warm with ice cream.


Hope you enjoy them!
Chris
