    Choose a recipe for my new project - details below
    The new project started as a tidy up of my recipe file, you know all the pieces of paper torn out of magazines, post it notes of ingredients for a recipe from a friend and family recipes that have been around for years. I've already thrown out the ones that either don't work or just aren't right somehow. I'm going to make up one recipe a week, photo the finished product and maybe a couple during the process. Then write it up complete with notes and thoughts or history of where I got it. And will gradually put my own recipe book together as a gift for my daughter.

    Piq

    Love the sound of your new project and Ive started something similar just by going through my magazines

    Shame you couldnt actually get away from work, how are you feeling? Have you any chance of an early night? - it might help you re-charge your batteries and allieviate the cold symptoms.

    Feeling rubbish- burning up then shivering cold, can't get comfortable, feel sick, sinus pain, splitting headache....off to bed soon, gonna watch a movie in bed I think. Thanks for asking x
