Plunging head first into iced water, might well have been an easier undertaking, than putting my thoughts and recipes into print! A month on i still feel out of my depth, but out of the iced water. Along the way there has been quite a lot of highs, and of course some lows.
Seeing a recipe i have constructed, with one of my not so good photos alongside, has certainly been a worthwhile investment of my time and patience.
On the couple of occasions the damn computer has refused to behave, i have managed to keep my chin above the water, and not drown. I will continue to hold my head above, even when misbehaving gadgets with keys refuse to perform but neglect to inform the incompetent user
how to operate them.
So back to the blog- so far i have achieved a lot more input than at fist expected, although no order as of yet, has happened.
This month has also seen me take the plunge and try my first raw fish- in a japanese restaurant. In the past i have been no stranger to the delights of japanese cooking, so naturally the next step was raw fish sushi. Did i enjoy it? You bet i did, it was a revelation!
On a sour note this month, i somehow managed to go against the grain of my kitchen philosophy, and dare i say the word waste, well unfortunately this was the case. I'm not proud, somehow i managed to overbuy a little, maybe not super shopper style, and all the produce was fresh. Mistakes are made, with not allowing for a 4 day break in between i arrived home to bell peppers,carrots and salad produce all past its best!
Considering our track record the last three years with minimal waste it is not all bad! But again a mistake i would not like to repeat to often, somehow ironic that our first real wasteful week occurs the month i start to write.
This month also saw the arrival of a relative, who duly informed us that he does not eat anything apart from microwave meals, and finds a sandwich to much of a chore to make???
Since departed i now have a freezer full of frozen snot- with no takers for meals! More waste, but this stuff i would rather see not eaten, although more waste in the packaging for the environment!
On a good note we have just found out from other relatives, that we can have a half share of their allotment whilst we fester on a long waiting list somewhere in the depths of a local councils filing system, for our very own!
So all in all a very good first month blogging and an unfortunate incident of waste!
