Where I create....

Just thought I would show my small prep area, I have a very tiny kitchen, and have a small wooden counter which I got from a t.v prop sale over in Burbank. It's totally rustic, but I love it, and am always thinking of ways to make it more functional. As you can see I have lots of different bottles and herbs and spices. I use a lot of olive oil, and am always looking for new ones. I use a really good blend actually, for general cooking/sauteeeing, its a blend of 2 oils, extra virgin olive oil, and vegetable oil, and its very reasonable, I think I paid $5.99 for a liter. I also store some of my dry goods there too. I am going to buy some more storage shelves from Ikea soon, to make more space available.

More later, I have other things going on at the moment so need to sign off. Now, what shall I have for supper?

Forthcoming attractions...

So, my blog is almost ready to go, and I wanted to tell you about 'Basket Spy' I can hear you thinking, what is that exactly? Well, when I go to the supermarket, which I do on a frighteningly regular basis, I have a tendency to sneak a peek at other shoppers baskets, to see what they are buying that day. I can't help myself, I have always done it, and it's getting worse! In fact, I have a friend who goes as far as to say she actually 'sneers' at a basket whose contents do not meet with her approval! ( can you actually 'sneer' at a basket, I ask myself?) That I have never done, but it's been close.

I want to make 'Basket Spy' a regular feature on my blog, and am going to be posting photos of the baskets.

So, without further ado, I will go visit the market and start spying!

Just so you know, I will be asking people if it's ok to photograph their shopping basket, I am not going to be totally underhand and photograph the baskets secretly...well, maybe not all the time anyway.

Almost ready to begin.....

Coming soon, watch this space!
