I Will Return Shortly…

I know I haven’t posted for a while but a combination of not really cooking anything of interest and problems with uploading pictures onto wordpress have held me up.

I have discovered however that there are people looking at this site and printing off recipes so that is a bonus I didn’t realise this was happening 🙂

I have recently started a diet so there will be nothing on here too fattening anymore… unless I’ve a valid reason! Soon to be posted are some Indian recipes again, while I have been at home by myself Saturdays are becoming my day of cooking something nice from scratch.

The whole point of this blog is that I’m an engineer to trade but I want to make it easy to cook meals from scratch. Yes I am as guilty as anyone of cooking quick meals during the week, but at weekends when I have time to myself I want to cook something nice from scratch.

At the start of the year there was a campaign by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver about the condition that Chicken’s are kept in that are sold in supermarkets. Yes I totally agree with them, but I also understand that people are on a budget and I would recommend that people buy chicken thighs rather than chicken breast. Much more juicy and also a fraction of the price 🙂

As I said I am on a diet so if people reading this are on a diet please contact me. I will put hints and tips up on this site for that as well now. I have been on a diet for a month now and I have lost just over a stone in weight so maybe we could start an online diet group or something.

Another thing I am considering is that now Claire is away for 5 months now that I would try and get some restaurant experience… I was thinking of visiting some restaurants and seeing if I could get some first hand experience of kitchen work for next to nothing in the way of wages just for something to do in the evenings, but we will wait and see if this happens.

Back shortly
