Reading!!!

Spent some time this morning reading Food Blogs. God knows how many there must be on the web..millions I should think. I usually look at the Delia site first which is a food site rather than a blog, but there is always something going on there. I also have a look at "Taste the Goode Life" done by Shirley Goode. Very chatty with a lot of input and quite a number of recipes but a bit overlong sometimes. A new favourite is 101 Cookbooks
http://www.101cookbooks.com/index.html
This is a really excellent site always with something interesting to read, and beautiful vegetarian recipes, very talented girl.I would love to try some of the recipes but they use ingredients that we simply do not have here, particularly some of the flours and grains.
From somewhere I started looking at an Australian site the other day with scenes of everyday life on a sort of small holding or farm. Looks very idyllic. The thing is you can go on looking forever, and still not touch the edge of the sites that are available. I'm glad no-one reads mine, it was never meant to be read, just meant as a sort of record of our Healthy Eating Plan..
Tonight we are having:
A Quorn thingy from the freezer, Possibly Lamb Grills.
4oz of potatoes, maybe squashed then done with rosemary and salt,
Mushrooms, Carrots and green beans
The trouble with looking at different foodie blogs is that it does make you want to do some baking..there is a beautiful recipe for Buckwheat nibbled cookis on the 101 cookbooks site..looks really yummy.
I am reading a Murder Mystery book at the moment called The Chocolate Chip Cookie murder by Joanne Fluke, which is very light and not at all intellectual but a good cheerful read. The book is intersperced with recipes for a variety of cookies, but while the recipes look good, not too healthy, and you just know you wouldn't stop at one!!!
