Happy 2012 everyone! I for one am hoping this year is bigger and better than the last and am looking forward to all types of successes this year. For myself, my friends and family. And yes I do realise it's the 1st of Feb, but I've always felt like the new year really only starts in February. Traditionally, I seem to take holidays in January, or at least everyone else does so it doesn't feel like we're getting into the real world till now!
And to start that off I have realised that I need to be updating this blog of ours MUCH more regularly! We started it to be able to document and share our own culinary experiences. And we started that by delving into the world of Jamie Does... and how that progressed! As fun as it's been to do this ourselves, it would be so much more fun to do it with others. There are lots of you that have been party to the delicious dishes, well at least at the party and some have featured in pictures, or with notable mentions, but we want to keep discovering! There's only so much 2 people can do, and I know each and everyone one of my friends have dishes that they 'own', that they can bring out when they want to impress. You also all have interesting things that we can share! And so came the idea of 'Something New in 2012'. Each week we'd like to challenge ourselves with a new discovery! Be it a new cuisine, meal, cake or something old that's new for us (or me!). It's time to expand the horizons and get the taste buds rocking in all manner of ways, and here's where we need some crowd participation...
We'd love to have everyone join us and be part of that 'Something New'. Each week we'll set out what it is we're delving into, or someone can suggest it, and then we can all try it. Find a recipe on the Internet, in your Nana's old cookbook, or at your favourite bookshop, cook up the storm and share those pictures, comments and experiences on Facebook and with us so we can upload them to this blog. How does that sound? Are you with me? Are you? Let's think of it as a 40 week challenge. We've already missed 5 weeks of the year, and there are always weeks that it is too much - or we're on holiday, and to top it off, if you don't want to make the week's thingy, well you don't have to! It's not school and it certainly shouldn't be a chore.
And the most exciting part, it doesn't matter where any of us are in the world! Actually that's what makes it more fun, all those different culinary delights that could be shared. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!
I'm excited to get this rock'n'rolling and I hope someone you will be too! It's time to take this blog to the next level!!
Have a fabulous week everyone!
Ciao
xoxo
