I’ve always loved the look of dishes hung on a wall. There’s something charming and homey about them, plus I’ve never been one to turn away from a good collection, it’s become a bit of an addiction!

Coincidence or Homage to Diana?
After several years, changes the cut of the dress and the color, but the pattern is repeated. The polka dot were choosing Kate, implemented a model signed by Jenny Packham (the same designer who has signed several of their dresses). Fantastic and smiling, appeared without complex the world, a day after being a mother.
And it's almost impossible not to like and not to be compared to Lady Di. As for the dress, the question hangs in the air - coincidence or homage to Diana?

Lemon Curd
Ingredients
Pastry
250g rough puff pastry, store bough or fresh.
Filling
Juice and zest of 4 small lemons
3 large, free-range eggs
1 egg yolk
125g caster sugar (very fine sugar)
125g cold, unsalted butter, cut small squares
Method
Pastry: Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease 10 mini tart pans. Roll the pastry out to between 2 and 3mm thick, and cut into 10cm diameter discs. Place a disc in each pan and press the pastry into the pan. Cover with baking paper, fill with pie weights (or rice if you don't have pie weights). Bake for 18 minutes. Remove the baking paper and pie weights and bake for a further 2 minutes.
Remove the pastry shells from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Filling: Chose a sauce pan and large metal mixing bowl which fit together well (without the mixing bowl falling into the sauce pan). Bring water to a simmer in the sauce pan.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together in the mixing bowl with a balloon whisk. Add the lemon juice.
Place the mixing bowl over the simmering water and gently stir the mixture with a spoon until it thickens.
Once the mixture has thickened remove it from the heat, add the butter and mix until all the butter has melted and the mixture becomes glossy.
Fill each pastry shell with the lemon curd.
Pour the remaining curd into a clean jar and allow to cool in the fridge. Lemon curd on toast is amazing.

Turn me on
Turn me on
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a light bulb in a dark room
I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and turn me on
Like the desert waiting for rain
Like a school kid waiting for spring
I am sitting here waiting for you to come back home and turn me on
My poor heart, it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all you're the one who turned me off
Now you're the only one that can turn me back on
Uh
My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
And my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on
Back home and turn me own
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Like a light bulb in a dark room
I am sitting here waiting for you to come home and turn me on
Like the desert waiting for rain
Like a school kid waiting for spring
I am sitting here waiting for you to come back home and turn me on
My poor heart, it's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all you're the one who turned me off
Now you're the only one that can turn me back on
Uh
My hi-fi's waiting for a new tune
And my glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on
Back home and turn me own
