Awaiting a delivery....

....of not one but TWO packages! The first is from a brilliant blogger D who has mailed me a large box containing all kinds of goodies -Waitrose Food Illustrated magazine, chinese plums and dates, teabags...and who knows what else! The second is an egg-basket that I've been meaning to get for ages. My cookery teacher advised that if one uses eggs frequently, to keep them outside of the fridge at room temperature. For the past few weeks numerous egg boxes have been sitting on the countertop looking ugly -and I finally got around to looking online for a wire egg-basket. My sister in law has/had one in the shape of a chicken. The one I bought looks like this.
