Cooking from scratch

The hustle & bustle of a busy kitchen.

How I’ve missed it.

Do you remember when this was all I talked about?

Drop the husband to work.

Decide what I was cooking on the way home and then make it.

Of course, it hasn’t been that way for a while.

I seemed to loose heart in the whole proccess and who can be surprised, really?

The whole 1950’s housewife was my ‘thing’.

But being a housewife can be slightly difficult without a husband.

Well, Dear Reader, he’s been gone 42 months – that’s 31/2 years and I#m feeling much better about it all.

I say much better.

I rarely give it/him a thought nowadays.

So, I was sorting through my cupboards and I have so much food that iu haven’t eaten.

Dry goods. I mean – how much Ainsley Harriot cous cous does one household need?

This made me think.

I may just as well throw my money straight into the bin if I plan to carry on like this, so I made a decision.

The decision was this.

With a minimal amount of shopping, just fresh goods, I plan to see how many tasty meals I can make.

Bedsit living.
If anyone out there remembers what a bedsit is.

So far I’m feeling quite pleased with myself – and apart from pasta bake, we haven’t had the same thing twice.

I’ve found joy in cooking again – and it’s only taken me 31/2 years
