Here go the mushrooms for the third day in the row. My daughter has decided she is making Pasta. "Do you have all the things ready for the pasta?" I don't know if I will master this, but I will make a good sous chef by the time Kyra is done with me! More anon.

I have figured out hot to email my blog from my BB to Blogspot/ blogger which sends my new post to my google buzz which updates my twitter which updates my facebook. I will undo it in a day because I will go crazy....but I had to do it. Manisha is right, learning Technology. On my Own should be next. The attack of the almonds coninutes. I chopped the mushroom steps and half an onions to lightly saute the cottage cheese with it and then stuff into my mushroom crowns and I LOST THE PANEER. It turned up this morning but that was after I had finally lightly sauteed the mushrooms with barbeque sauce and had them on toast! Today will really do healthy mushrooms.

Just was too blah and too out of it to cook. I don't think i can cook when i am angry, anxious or agitated. Its scary enough when i am even tempered. That must explain why I haven't cooked in the past 33 years. I love when the dishes in my monthly menu (yes I actually have one - for breakfast, lunch and dinner) almost exsctly coincide with the dishes I want to experiment with. Lets see if I can get the 5 year old to earn her supper and help me with the mushrooms. Just crowns please. I will chop the stems. I realise hers is the more skilled part of the job, but lets face it, she has a natural talent for it and I am the nightmare that shakes the Cordon Blue Foundation!

Carb Fest Gone Healthy

Today's dishes are potatoes in lemon sauce and cheese stuffed mushrooms. I am replacing butter for a tsp of extra virgin olive oil in the first and cottage cheese in the second. Fingers crossed.

Oranges and Lemon

Okay, so the best part of this learning to cook thing is that my daughter is loving it. Yesterday she saw Ratatouille and told me that she wants to be a chef. This is my life. I am struggling to make something that doesn't offend the kitchen sink and I am surrounded by culinary giants. Or would-be giants. Today we are making Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and with lemon curd, orange sauce or mulberry jam on the side.
