I popped into the Marks & Spencer food store on Ecclesall Road this week. Not somewhere I usually go, but good for a treat, which in this case was a special packed lunch for my older boy for a school trip. All the other kids were getting fish & chips, and of course he couldn’t … Continue reading
We had a lovely meal testing out these Pieminister gluten free pies. One was chicken, leek, ham and thyme (Ranger), and the other was a vegetarian pie containing goats’ cheese, sweet potato and spinach (Heidi). What’s to say?

After repeatedly being unable to find one at our local big Sainsbury’s store on Archer Road, I got in touch with Sainsbury’s via Twitter and found out you can log a product request, which I … Continue reading
