To do list

I keep being reminded (mostly by my own guilt) that I never update this blog. Over the past few months I've been busy just bumming around dealing with looking after my kids, and struggling with financial worries caused in part by the recession, but also by long standing issues left over from my first marriage, and other debts that all basically went horribly wrong at the same time.

Well I'm no longer going to let that little lot get me down. This blog was set up to give me something to do that I enjoyed, and so it will remain and from here on in, grow.

If I don't blog here at least monthly please publically kick my arse in Twitter.

For now, I have a list of recipes I need to finalise, photograph and blog about. These are (not exclusively) ...

1. Banana, Date and Walnut Bread
2. Basic bread dough
3. Stocks - both meat, poultry and a veg stock (because one of my readers asked and I said I would).
4. Beef Stew with dumplings
5. Yorshire puddings 101

These things and more I promise to you, my loyal readers.

In the meantime, I really want to give a big shout out to @caramboo and @milliesmum who have actually cooked my vegetable curry recipe. Here's their blog of the event. I think this happening is one of the things that makes me want to do more of this blogging lark, it makes the process feel more worthwhile.

So yeah, expect more, and soon, very soon. In fact expect more TODAY - afterall,I've done the groundwork for the first of my list already.

Now I'm off to bake cakes, and make dinner. Lamb Stew with Minty Suet Dumplings - I'll take my camera ....
