I know my children would be happy with chevups smothered in tomato sauce or with tuna tomato pasta daily and pancakes for breakfast snacks and dessert.
After the frustration of spending time on a week night making pumpkin gnocchi from scratch with a sage butter sauce only to receive a call (on a good day) from MM announcing his necessity to sit out the traffic in a watering hole near work (some 45 minute drive away). Gnocchi turns to mush and my mood follows.
That was it! No more gourmet meals mid week. No more doing everything the hard way. Growing, picking, pounding, pulping. From now on this family shall eat from the freezer or a jar. Supermarket BBQ chooks surely can't be that bad?
Well that was my plan for 2008 and things started quite well until of course I made verbal my resolve much to the horror of the three housemates. In fact it took only 11 days of the new year till I received not 1 but 7 new cook books to re-inspire me as a birthday gift?????
Anyways once a sucker for glossy pictures of fresh produce muddled into mouth watering meals always a sucker. So here we have it. I shall cook again, I will love the process and not be let down by those who try to dampen my spirits and surely with time they two will learn to love a variety of fresh food.
So as a record of the 2008 of no cooking I will share some of the best family success stories here for you all to enjoy!
