Yep another
new year, another new blog. I just want
to put down my frustrations on paper (well, in old money terms) as being a
mother/wife who works from home. Don’t get me wrong I love working from home
but I fail big time on the domestic side.
Not with cooking, I love food too much so I am always happy in the
kitchen but with the housework side. Honestly, I can spend hours tidying up a
room and you honestly couldn’t tell that a duster had been anywhere near. I would be massively grateful for any tips/hints/cheats
to make my life easier on that front. Today though, I am not even attempting
anything like housework. It’s the first day of 2013 and my family are all
around, lazing in front of the telly and nobody needs school uniform washing,
or cares that the dishwasher hasn’t been emptied. It is a lazy day, the last
one of the holiday season before real life returns.
I am going
to make supper soon. And in our house it’s always a must to have lentils on New
Years Day. According to Italian superstition they will bring good fortune in
the finance department for the coming year.
I’m not usually very superstitious but if folklore happens to involve
food I like, then I really can’t ignore it. All to do with the fact that they
go coin shaped when cooked. So I am going to do Puy lentils cooked with onions
in vegetable stock, chilli sausages and broccoli. My 16-year-old son has gone
vegetarian so of course it will be veggie sausages for him. He only became vegetarian at the end of October and I have to confess that I sometimes forget.
Getting better at it though.
Ok, now
going to snuggle back down and enjoy Fantastic Mr Fox. Hope everybody has a
wonderful 2013 and it brings lots of good stuff.
