So here we have my first blog.
I'm going to give this a go. See how it pans out. Even if I'm the only one who ends up reading them, well hey, I'm going to give it my best shot.
Food has always been a central part of my life. Sometimes to my detriment, oh lets be honest, I'm fat. I'm fat because I've always enjoyed my food and enjoyed WAY too much of it.
I'm in the process of trying to teach myself how to sort this. But I'm refusing to give up the good stuff. I'm just going to have to start kicking my own butt in the gym to work some/most/all of it off!
15kg since January is a good start :)
Anyway, food... the reason I'm here.
Some of my favourite memories have been forged in the kitchen or at the dinner table (mine, others or at a whole in the wall Vietnamese cafe). Being in the kitchen makes me happy, cooking up a storm, making a wild mess, dancing, singing and tasting as I go... this is my happy place.
I don't cook for a career, never have, don't want to. I cook for love, for flavours I love, for flavours I want to love, for those I want to shower with love.
Cooking is a part of my language. If I'm inviting you to share a meal with me, particularly one I've cooked myself, its a sign that you are loved and I want you in my life.
I'm not very good at photography, so bare with me, it should get better, it'll hopefully get better! For now I will share my best amateur efforts.
Tonight I'll be cooking bacon chops from a local provider Backfatters. Their maple cured, double smoked bacon is mouthwateringly amazing! So good that it convinced me to buy their bacon, but also a pork roast and some of their Sweet Italian goat and pork sausages. All the animals at Backfatters are all free range, the heritage breeds provide some delicious flavours in their cured meats as well as fresh.
I only discovered them this morning, and am so pleased! They also have a facebook presence here. Follow them!
Well that's all for me at the moment, I'll log back on and share some photos and how it all turns out later.
