It tastes absolutely heavenly. U put a heap of parmasen with it and its delicious. Its great to make too. Better to make your own if u have time than to buy store bought plasticky stuff from the supermarket. I have been a bit slack with this blog over the past few days.

I have had restless sleep. Expcept for last night where i just slipped into sleep and woke up in the morning. I like it when i come round and there is sun slipping through the curtains.
