I'm a housewife in training... Step by step I hope to learn to run a household... I'm not very good at it, but then again, I'm sure even my own Super Mum wasn't perfect to begin with and had to learn things like - How to stop condensation turning into mould and How to remove Chocolate Ice-Cream from terracotta sheets...I have already started learning... I have already perfected the 6.00pm rush - which takes place about 30 minutes before Nickie's due home and I have to clear up whatever mess I've been making!
Now if I am to be a perfect housewife, I must become a perfect cook. I can imagine myself in twenty years, telling my nieces and nephews (I said housewife, not mother), about the time I spent three hours making a lovely butternut squash and red pepper soup, roasting all the veg and even skinning the peppers... It smelled lovely in the pan and I was hoping for complex, rich and almost fruity flavours - unfortunately the last minute addition of paprika was all we could taste...
But it's all a learning curve I suppose. I've decided to start documenting my attempts including photographs, recipes, notes on successes and of course failures starting with my Christmas bakes. There might even be the odd restaurant review from the days when I just can't look at another pan!
Enjoy...
