I made my husbands favourite dish for supper last night (Beef Stifado) who said that the way to a mans heart isn't through his stomach?
The dish calls for quite a few different herbs and spices and whilst I had everything on hand (except the fresh ingredients of course) I wondered if dried herbs and spices have a shelf life and whether the flavours diminish after time? Do I need to invest in a new spice box or will the (out of date) jars I have still be okay? 
Lost - I thought forever - but found during a clear out!
A year ago it was a very different story……..birds!
British Media. Let’s have a change please!
Belfast another appalling attack, we need to ask what is driving this.
