We have been cooking more this week. Well, okay, we’ve been getting Dan to cook more. Before now, my meals have mostly consisted of ready meals and canned stuff, but on Monday, feeling particularly hungry, I decided to print off a recipe for my mum’s spaggy bog and give it to dan. The outcome was very successful.

Lyn likes cooking, and I think I do too, so we decided that we should cook more. Lyn’s a vegetarian, so before now, when we have ready meals, we would often eat two entirely different things. We decided to cook and eat together more – after all, isn’t that what couples do? I know this means I might get less meat (assuming there is meat in co-op lasagne) but, last night, under our – well pretty much entirely Lyn’s – guidance, dan made a most delicious fish dish. If we can make food as good as that, I’m really looking forward to getting into the kitchen.
