Very Small Feet

I never smoked. Well I have tired when I was 18 I think but it really wasn’t something that I liked. Smelly, horrible flavour and then everything smells...  But I never had this trouble with drink.  It is fun, nice and relaxing to have a glass of wine or three after work.  To be perfectly honest it was more like a bottle of wine a day. Not great. So after my mum flew home I have decided to cut down and be more mindful about my wine consumption. Wine is my drug of choice. Well I love gin too....  I always thought that I drink because I am bored. And well this is actually true, it’s easy to sit down in front of tv show and chill with some wine... and not so much since you are chilled with wine.  So I stopped buying wine and start getting fizzy mineral water instead. Oh I love these bubbles. And you know it was strange the 1st day and now it is just magical. I maybe have a bottle of wine over couple of days but I chose a these days.  I became more productive. ...

When I met Steve all I could do is not a very nice pasta and pancakes .. I'm sure I could have done more but it was just me so I was not interested in spending much time in the kitchen...  How things have changed! Like yesterday for example I have spend an hour making purées for little man.  Today I was making one amazing tomato salad:)  On that way it has been inspired by Raymond Montblanc, catch it him in iplayer on Kew on a Plate . Such a fun program.  Then before that I was inspired by my friend Nourishing Chloe . She made these crunchy chick peas... I took her method and used it on corn instead. Came out a hit chewy. Our rented oven is not great! Like really not great! But want I am really enjoying at the moment are the smoothies! With spinach or kale... With something added for sweetness like mango or banana or frozen berries.  Cooking is easy! I wish some one would have told me is before:)
