I’ve had a week from absolute hell, friends. As most of you know I’m finalizing my second ebook and even though every single detail was planned ahead, what I didn’t expect was for my laptop to crash. Needless to say, the universe probably felt like I needed to be brought back to earth or something, I was devastated.
Luckily the designer has a copy of the ebook file, thank the gods, but all my shoots and recipes for my build up to Christmas (and the new website) is gone. GONE. After many tears, tantrums and wine later, I had to accept that my harddrive is now irreparable and nothing could be recovered.
So, back on to the work horse I jump, now frantically trying to get ahead before we leave on holiday for Christmas. Take it from me, make sure to make back-ups. Every week.
So, a new hard drive, new windows, new photoshop and a new attitude later – and I have the perfect little snack to entertain the kids and their crowds of friends this holidays.
The great thing about these Beef Samosas is that you can use leftover mince if you have any from the previous dinner and, they freeze pretty damn well – chuck the raw samosas in a ziplock bag and deep fry when you need to.
So go on, enjoy the last couple of hard working days, give it your absolute best – and get cooking with the kids this holiday. (Don’t mind me, I’ll be working my backside off). I’d love to know where everyone is off to this holiday, please feel free to comment below. Enjoy!
