Roast muntjac with red wine, rosemary and redcurrant & mustard mash recipe

Just in case you are reading this and wondering what on earth muntjac is: it's a type of deer, lighter and generally less gamey than venison with a very low fat content and a wonderful taste which I would compare to rare beef. We get lots of muntjac in the area I live in as we are quite close to where muntjac originated. Well obviously not originally - originally they were from China but were brought to Bedfordshire in about 1900 by the Duke of Bedford. Escapes and deliberate releases have resulted in a fairly wide spread of wild Reeves" Muntjac to give them their full name. Interesting fact - they are believed to be the oldest breed of deer with prehistoric remains found dating back to as long as 35 million years ago! They are considered a serious threat to woodland management as they will eat almost any plant material and therefore I am occasionally offered haunches by a local gamekeeper who owns and manages a local ancient woodland. So - onto cooking. Y

Slither-io -Gaming Guide For Parents & Review Of The New Toy Range.

Who knew that a game featuring a slithery snake character would prove so popular but the massive hit online game Slither-io seems to appeal to a wide range of ages and crosses gender divide - we like that kind of thing in my busy household of boys and girls.

It's basically just like the game "snake" oldies like me had on early mobile phones, calculators and desktop computers. You move your snake (or slither as it's called) around the screen eating glowing orbs which make your slither grow while avoiding other snakes. You can play on Android and iOS phones and tablets and there's a browser version for your computer. It's hugely

Non-chocolate, Golden syrup, marshmallow & cornflake crispy cakes #recipe

One of my children is a bit odd. Actually all of my children are a bit odd (I blame their father) but the reason I am singling one out in particular is because he doesn't like chocolate. I know right? Surprising as I ate A LOT of chocolate when I was pregnant with him but even a hint of chocolate, a stray chocolate chip can leave him actually retching. Only this weekend he asked to try his brother's chocolate bar flavoured milkshake and one sip had him throwing up for about ten minutes. Its not a huge problem generally. Very little chocolate in most of the food we eat daily but sometimes it's nice to make a treat we can all enjoy. We had a surfeit of cornflakes this week (long story) so my 10-year-old daughter asked to make choc-free crispy cakes as a surprise for her chocolate hating brother. She mentioned making them previously with golden syrup and suggested we added some mini-marshmallows to make them pretty. The cakes took literally minutes to make an
