Not that you need me to mention it but 2020 has been one strange year.
Back in March when Lockdown began I was full of great intentions – everything was going to be organized in my house, I was going to learn how to crochet, paint furniture, read all the books in the pile by my bed…
I managed to plant a wild flower garden (of which I’m very proud), paint a garden bench and reorganize my shed. And then my plans went a bit pear-shaped. My Sister and her family moved into my Mum’s house for 3 months and my Mum moved in with me. It was a great summer – lots of family meals and outings. I loved spending time with my niece and nephews. Morning walks and coffee with my sister were another bonus.
They’ve gone back to their renovated house and I’m finding things rather quiet without them ( though the cat is enjoying reclaiming her territory ). So rather than feeling sorry for myself I decided it’s time to make some new lists and make October ‘Organization Month’ . I’m hoping that writing the items down will ensure that I complete all of them…🤞
On the list so far :
As you may know I’ve been doing live cook-alongs over on Facebook – now I need to start blogging the recipes.
As physical classes aren’t an option at the moment I’m embracing the online world and working on a Zoom class schedule
I’m planning an Afternoon Tea class to raise funds for ‘Cups for Cancer’ so I’m hoping you’ll all join me for this worthy cause
Reorganizing my pantry – I’ve bought a label maker and I’m not afraid to use it🤣
As there’s not much call for Corporate Catering at the moment I need to work on ideas for restarting Hey Pesto!
On a personal note dare I mention I need to exercise more – thankfully Pilates has restarted 🧘♀️
There will no doubt be lots more items added so watch this space…..
I’ve started by getting my spices in order – now I have no excuse not to use them all ( all 49 of them!)

Happy Cooking!
