Tonight I did omelette's, with chips. I haven't made very many omelette's, and I don't know why because I often order them when I am out for lunch. There were OK but I do think I need a little practice with them I think what I might do is have them for lunch so I can get my technique right!

I am spending time looking through cookery books, which is lovely, getting out cook books I haven't looked in for a while, finding lots of recipes. I think it is going to make cooking interesting again, instead of something that has to be done.

Tonight I am making cottage pie, it is something that I have made lots of times. I must admit it is something I enjoy making I don't know what it is there is something very homely about it when I get it out the oven.

First Night

Wednesday 17th June is the first night of my new plan. I cooked Tarragon Chicken, it is a recipe that I have cooked a few times, I got it out of magazine and is in my folder I have for cuttings, we had new potatoes, peas and carrots. It is a lovely fresh recipe just nice for warm weather.

A Plan

I have a plan. I do try to make up menu's for the week, and sometimes I mange it, sometimes I don't. I have noticed that the menu's have become very samey. I seem to stick to the same recipes all the time, I know I am not alone in this. I have lots of recipe books I love them I am very happy sitting reading through them I also have Good Food magazine on sub, I get excited when it arrives each month. Well my plan is that I put my recipe books and magazine to use. Plus of course the Internet.
Monday to Friday am going to try and cook a different meal, if I do cook the same thing it has to be a different version. Saturday is curry night and Sunday is a roast dinner. I am really quite excited, I enjoy cooking so why have I been sticking to the same old things? You never know I might even try some new cakes, I think I have been making the same ones forever! I will not be posting the recipes, but I will post which cook book I got it out of if it is from one.
