I've been in a cooking slump lately. Starting a new job with a 1 hour commute while also doing my degree by correspondence has been very challenging. Couple that in with it getting colder and colder and the fact that my house always seems to be a damned mess, I have zero enthusiasm for planning, shopping and cooking a meal. Since I can't afford to/don't have the time to eat at restaurants, it usually means that I eat junk food for dinner or if I can't bear to eat shit, then I just don't eat at all. That's really not conducive to performing well at work or at uni and well, it makes me grouchy and the week drags for what feels like an eternity (weekends? What are weekends? And when will I see one again?).
I took a good two hours today to go through my favourite cookbooks and my favourite cooking blog to find some recipes that are simple, delicious, nutritious, healthy, and minimalist. Now since I didn't go the farmers markets today (it was raining and cold) this will have to wait until next weekend, but by then I will most certainly be ready.
I've wanted to start a blog for a very long time, but I have always had trouble sticking with a mission statement. I go back and forth between wanting to blog about: cooking, weight loss, fashion, literature, gossip, music, politics ... it goes on... but with my mind divided between so many things, I failed to do any of it very well. When I tried to concentrate on the one thing, it immediately became the thing I wanted to talk about least. So out the window with that. Do I need to label this? Does this have to be one thing? This blog is going to be about everything and nothing at all.
