Food

I have spent the day thinking about food, writing about food, cooking food, taking photographs of food, working on my Blurb cookery book - and yes, there was time to eat food too. This is a collage of the food I made for Ailie’s birthday lunch.

It was a good day to be inside as it was raw cold with snow showers, gone already.

#3 daughter took Ella to rugby - she’s now found her way to an Under 11girls’ team so is enjoying that, even though they still have to play the boys. She’s learning scrums now. The brother-in-law (and his woman friend) were both saying they didn’t approve of girls playing rugby, then proceeded to show me a photo of his granddaughter’s stitches in her mouth - she’s been hit by a hockey ball. I suppose most sports have a danger element. Skiing, football, cricket - but my pet hate is boxing for either gender as I worry about the brain injuries and just don’t like the sight of fighting. I really enjoyed gym boxing though - learning the different punches and it was a good work out with the young man at the gym who taught me.
