MUMMY PORN ?

...a case for serious spanking?

Everyone is talking about it! But be careful who you tell...

A couple of weeks back I read an article in Time about a book which was taking America and the UK by storm - Shades of Grey by EL James.


Sales had hit an all time high, knocking Hunger Games off its number one bestseller rung. Preorders for the second and third books of the trilogy were so high that publishers were already ordering re-runs. Electronic book sales of the very same were unprecedented.

Mummy's the world over are blushing as they reach for the Ben and Jerry's at the supermarket and wondering whether their husbands of 20 years have "twitchy hands." And is there still Baby Oil in the bathroom cupboard just in case...

I don't really do "popular" literature but this had my curiosity going. What was the noise about? 
30 seconds later and the trilogy was downloaded on my iPad. Basically I was lost to my entourage and family for the next 72 hours...the washing lay about, the ironing basket overflowed, the children went hungry and the dog did not get walked. 

I was engrossed in what is far from great literature...."Mummy Porn" is the understatement of the century. I still can't work out whether I was rushing through the "story" to get to the next steamy sex scene or reading the sex scenes slowly to avoid the limp "story."
I had my computer on Wikipedia the whole time as there were just so many "things" to research I'd never heard of..I won't bore you with the details. Suffice to say, its been a learning curve.

My favourite related story is a friend of mine who downloaded it off Amazon but, in her haste, accidently downloaded it to her 14 year old sons iPod instead of her own iPad. Other friends have been "scotched" to their couches for days on end, others are suffering from sleep deprivation but enjoying a fab new sex life. I heard about someone else  taking a sick day to finish book 2! I personally am wondering when it will come out in french and whether it's correct to slip it into FH's ( french husband's) briefcase?


Chocolate Mousse anyone??? An old favourite with a spicey twist to bring it back to life.

Spiced Up Chocolate Mousse (for 2 only)

75g dark coarse chocolate , chopped and melted
2 eggs separated
25g butter, melted
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
1 tbsp lime zest

Mix the chocolate with the egg yolks and butter. Whisk the egg whites and then whisk in the sugar until the mixture is shiny and stiff.
Fold the two mixtures together along with the ginger and lime zest if using. Divide between 4 glasses and chill until set.

  1. Funnily enough it got as equally slated as lauded on Amazon reviews.

  6. I looked up the Amazon reviews - does it really have sparkly vampires in it? Don't think I'd dare import this into the house, if either my OH, or worse my daughters, discovered it I'd never be allowed to forget it.

  7. @ no sparkly vampires...that was Twilight...that was even worse! This one has canes, chains and games. V scary!

  8. My daughters seem to know a lot about this book... apparently it started as fanfic for Twilight which would explain the sparkly vampiress.
