Following a suggestion by AModMillyMum, here is our blog post thread, week by week to make it easier to find new posts.

If you have missed any posts, the old thread is here

First blogger who posts on Sunday opens the new weekly thread.

This week I kicked off with a post about Lazy Sunday Afternoon Cookies and yesterday blogged about teaching of foreign languages in Scotland

Over to you.

That is ok with me. Would have linked already, but didn't want to spam your blog. Not quite sure of the blogger etiquette on something like that, tbh. Would you post a comment on my blog with link o yours?

Morning all. Here is my rant for the day. It's a bit of a confessional.

Any advantages to moving over to Wordpress anyone over Blogger?

stitchthis · 08/09/2011 15:01

just had to let you know - someone got to my blog by typing 'drudgery of motherhood' into their search engine - I am so proud!!!!!! Grin

VeraCanSignChocolateAndWine · 08/09/2011 19:01

Hi, not blogged much this week, but my latest entry about my deaf dd is here :o

MmeLindor. · 08/09/2011 19:30

QueenM
You are clever, that is lovely.

Vera
It is good that your DD is getting on well and that the pre-school are helping her, albeit sometimes slower than you would like.

Off to blog about my banana and caramel fleur de sel muffins - I tweeted pics today, and several posters asked for the recipe.

Hello

Enjoying all the update. A former circus star in our midsts, how exciting! Queenmaeve I loved the dress! Milly, loving your blog too.

MmeLindor I tried setting up a FB page today but have got stuck in a forgotten password loop, whereby two email addresses were recoveries for each other and neither will let me use security questions for 24hrs. Frigging technology!

Here's mine anyway, a day of firsts

MmeLindor. · 08/09/2011 21:42

Ha. Dillytante, glad I am not the only one struggling with FB.

here is my first attempt at Salted Caramels and the recipe for Banana Cupcakes with Salted Caramels.

Someone on Twitter just said that she would use Werthers instead of the salted caramels, which is a great idea.

Gah-just having a laugh...seriously, there's a serious amount of drudgerY involved. It just tickles me that someone ended up at my door...

MmeLindor. · 08/09/2011 21:48

Congratulations on the first school day, Dillytante.

I have read a few first school day blog posts this week and it has been interesting to see the different takes that people have had.

I am on a full on cooking and baking kick today. Already made olive and jalapeno cheese bread, red onion and olive breadsticks, butter icecream with salted caramel sauce, marinated chicken for my mum's chicken fry recipe, and now getting ready to make Thomas Crosby muffins.

Here's the blog post for the muffins.

Thomas Crosby Muffins

MmeLindor. · 08/09/2011 22:40

Oh, my. I am tired just reading that.

Those muffins look yummy. And the icecream sounds delish too. Is that recipe on your blog?

OP posts:
ScatCatShoo · 08/09/2011 23:24

MmeLindor, yes its the same recipe as the Haagen Daz icecream, minus the praline. And I pour over the caramel sauce on ice cream scoops, as opposed to layering it.

It not for those on a diet for sure... but I always indulge myself a few times a year with it, and I think that you should always be able to treat yourself, but in moderation, if you see what I mean.

Tee2072 · 09/09/2011 08:31

Hi all! Sorry not been around. I've been hit with the D&V and you can read all about it here!

Looking forward to catching up with everything this weekend!

FlamingoBingo · 09/09/2011 09:13

More tantrum check list today - near the end of the series now. Got a new project up my sleeve for Free Your Parenting soon too.

your angry child actually very anxious about something? freeyourparenting.com/2011/09/09/tantrum-check-list-7-anxiety/

Tee - might save that blog post to read when I'm not eating, if it's about your D&V! Grin

Hope you feel better soon

Like the blog, and the tea party. Nothing like a good cup of tea in a china cup. I agree that tea tastes better in china.

scatshoo muffins look delicious Smile
betty, I love that post about the tea party and the vintagey look of your blog.

I'd like to invite any of you mnetter bloggers to link up to the 'blog hop' I'm having this weekend. Last week was the first time I did it and there was about 40 posts linked up. It doesn't have to be a new post, one from your archives will do, any cooking, crafts, etc posts.

Its a great way to link up to other blogs

weekend wonders blog hop

Hope some of you can join in!
