About Me

My photo
Welcome to the new Campervan Chef blog! This started out life as a blog called 'Kylie's Kitchen' and ran out of steam some time ago. Since then life has changed and Kylie's Kitchen as it stood is no more. I started out as an an enthusiastic home cook but now work as a chef and cook for others in all sorts of situations. You'll find out more about this side of me if you keep tabs on my scribbles on here. I blog about food and cooking, life, family, friends and pets. I will also be keeping you up to date with our travels to our second home; the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and the dog shelter we support there. Join us as our journey through life continues...

Painting frenzy

The Rock Chick went over to her mum and dad's this morning.  Jen still doing a lot better and managing to be out of bed downstairs in the recliner for a fair bit of each day.  Looks like they've finally sorted the medication out so it's doing what it's supposed to be doing at last!

I spent the day painting the (very fiddly) dvd cabinet that's been built into the landing bannister.  It was a storage inspiration we had that Lee, our builder following the flood last year, turned into a very funky reality.  It's been painted a very vibrant pink to make it a bit of a feature and looks great!  The bugger took all day to paint, though, with only one tea break and a necessary wee wee break after the tea!

Popped over to see Jen and Arthur this evening after a long soak to get rid of the residue from sanding the wood and a lot of pink paint!

Roasted duck breasts which have been rubbed with ground cumin, coriander and a bit of salt - with roast potatoes and red cabbage courtesy of J and A's freezer for supper.  Being cooked as we speak with the footie on the Mac in the kitchen.  Those who know me will testify that I'm no football fan but I am fiercely patriotic...so come on England!  Justify your exorbitant wages just for once!!
