... for anyone who really knows me ... cooking is not my 'longsuit' ... What's a bit weird is that I actually love WATCHING cooking shows ... Nigella, Jamie Oliver, you name it and I'll watch them cook up a storm AND one of my fave movies is Julie and Juila ! but when it comes to ME being the one ... I'm not so confident.
i spent most of my youth living on vegetables and tins of tuna, or 2 minute noodles with tuna which seemed like a good idea at the time {and I have to admit, on the RARE occasion I find myself alone for a night I'm still happy to settle for a plate of vegies}.
Fast forward to my 30's when I got married and then proceeded to have a family. Uh oh ... time to grow up and learn to cook for real !!! eek! I found my husband was very supportive {basically he had to be if he wanted me to cook up meat and veg most nights} and taught me how to make most of the meals I cook these days... Roasts, spaghetti bolognaise, rissoles, stir frys ... So for anyone out there who thinks it's too late to learn ... trust me - it's not ... You just need a few basic recipes to get you going, then you're fine and if I can cook a meal for 6 people, then it's going to be a breeze for the rest the planet.

| rissoles and gravy - a family favourite ... |

| good old spaghetti bol - also a fave ... and actually sooooo easy ! |
Tonight we had fish - basic - floured and fried with butter ... mmm- not something we have a lot of since we live on a CATTLE property, but it's a real treat when we do!
