Food mostly. And as I've bored my friends to death talking about what I've eaten / asking them what they've eaten (think Barbara in the Royal Family) and then coming home to scratch my head of an evening trying to decide what to cook for myself and my other half - trying to remember what I've done that worked well before - I decided to spill it all out in here in the hopes that I will not only start retaining some sort of knowledge but will start improving at cooking too. There's a wealth of food related blogs out there and along with those and endless recipe books and magazines I'm in danger of reading about cooking more than actually - gasp - doing it. So nothing too fancy, just actual home cooked food every day of the week cobbled together from every nook and cranny of the foodie stratosphere and a bit of myself (and often booze) chucked in for good measure. This is basically what I have eaten, for what we call up North my tea, in any given week. And if you live up North as I have since conception in 1983 then you may recognise a few of the places I sometimes venture out to eat in also.
