SUSIE - RE: VERY late response - sorry

[Guest guest]

Hi Susie,

 

 

 

I'm sorry that this is so late. I meant answer you straight away and I

honestly thought I had done so but I discovered this morning that I hadn't

yet replied to your message.

 

 

 

Another way we sometimes choose new recipes is that I ask Hans to go to the

store cupboard or fridge and choose an ingredient. It doesn't matter what

it is - sometimes it could just be a particular herb or spice and other

times it might be pasta, beans, a vegetable etc. The idea is that I then

use that ingredient in a new recipe.

 

 

 

I know what you mean about not having time to cook when you are working.

When I was working full time we ate much easier meals than we do now. I

tried to get as much prepared before I left for work and I would leave my

husband a note of what needed to be done to finish the meal off. As he was

home an hour before me it worked well and I would not have to start work in

the kitchen when I arrived home at 6:45 PM. It was so nice to be able to

come home to a meal ready to eat.

 

 

 

Cheers from Marie

i like that idea marie.

week. since i've gone back to work, i'm lucky if i
