You say Pajama I say Pyjama

We have another winner!

I'm so pleased with the great response we had to this week's giveaway. If you missed out, don't worry because we have another great giveaway on Monday. I'm going to try and start each week with a wonderful giveaway.

The lovely Vanessa from Gingerlilly Sleepwear kindly donated a pair of her gorgeous baby PJs and the lucky winner, as chosen by The Tinker is...

Number 10... it's you Amanda Jane! Your little cherub is going to love her new jammies. Please shoot me an email with your favourite baby PJ style and size and your address so we can send your prize out to you.

Thanks again Vanessa, we love your store!

'Tis the end of the week so I bid you all farewell. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

The little Tinker is going to be spoilt rotten. My inlaws arrived yesterday and they are here for a week. They came bearing a fabulous little tea set for Tinker. You can see it came in that adorable little suitcase used to pick today's winner. She adores it. As soon as her Gra presented her with the present she has been making us all cups of tea non-stop. First thing she said this morning after telling me she wanted noodles for breakfast was that it was time for tea!

Here is a little pic of Tinker and her Gra taken yesterday with the new tea-set.

What's for Dinner Wednesday? Minute Steak!

Ok so this is not an original recipe but it is one I use once a week and I never really tire of it. It is one of Bill Granger's and I love it for its simplicity. You can't get this wrong and it is always fresh and yummy. Perfect mid-week meal. Who doesn't have beans and tomatoes and lemon at home? All you need is your minute steak.

Minute Steaks with Lemon and Green Beans and Passata

2 minute steaks (100g / 3 1/2 oz each)
Olive oil
Sea Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges

1 tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic crushed
250g (8.8 oz) tomatoes chopped
250g (8.8oz) trimmed green beans
Salt & pepper to serve

Ok so for the steak I just have my local butcher thinly slice Scotch Fillet for me or Sirloin but it doesn't really matter. You just want a really nice even thin slice.

Brush your steaks with olive oil and salt, cook 1min per side. Serve with lemon wedge and pepper and the beans as described here:

Over a medium heat add your olive oil, garlic and salt, add tomatoes reduce to low heat for 5 mins.

Bring water to boil throw beans in for 2 mins. Drain and add to tomatoes. Sprinkle with pepper and if you have some flat leaf parsley throw that in.

Serve with steak and a glass of vino.

Easy.

Do you have a nice simple mid-week recipe? Email it to me and I'll post it up next week!
