Funerals and Angels in Blankets

It's been a strange few days
, but when isnt it ...
A mad morning rush after I woke up on friday thinking (its thursday) oh nice a lovely snuggly bed and nothing to rush for today... Oh how wrong I was, it took a little while to realize it was friday and not thursday and I had a funeral to go to and 15mins to get ready.. This always happens to me I think the calendar in my head is running on a different level.
I made it to the funeral and bless dear cousin tony had a marvelous turn out of freinds and family, if you judge a person by how many turns up to the funeral then Tony was an amazing guy (we already knew that though).
Little lucy came home with me to have a little silly fun after all the grown up stuff, hehe we had a few soaping accidents and found out caustic soap is a great paint stripper from ovens as well as walls, she did an amazing first soap and bath bombs, me thinks i may have competition coming up lol...
To chill out from the sadness of friday Oh and myself decided to pop of in our camper to do a bit of kayaking and kite flying... Well that would of worked if the weather had been kind instead we ended up oyster hunting and picking winkles, which brings me to angels in blankets!
I love almost any seafood and wild seafood the best but OH had not eaten oysters and was yeuked out by eating them raw, So I adapted the classic oyster recipe angels on horseback for him.
We started by shucking (clever word) the oysters and then wrapping them in parma ham with a thin layer of garlic and herb cream cheese inside, they looked like cute little parcels. I served them on a bed of creamed potatoes, baby leeks sauted with super sweet corn and put the angels in blankets on top finished with a oyster and herb cheese sauce and popped back under the grill. It turned out really yummy and OH now is a fan of oysters...

lucy's first soap....
