About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Griddle Pans

I love my griddle pan. The first bite you take of any meal is with your eyes and they make anything look delicious with the stripes or criss-cross effect that sets your mouth watering. I use mine for vegetables, fish, meat and making toasted sandwiches. A spray from the oil mister onto the food and then a few minutes on either side.




When using a griddle pan these tips are invaluable


  1. Make sure the pan is so hot it is shimmering


  2. Oil the food and not the pan or you will get smoking


  3. Do not salt food as this will cause the juices to leak out and you will boil your food


  4. LEAVE IT ALONE! do not be tempted to keep checking to see if it is done and do not move anything around the pan. Be brave and trust your cooking times
