the reluctant cook... day 1

Ok so i did GCSE HE (Home Economics) at school and have managed to not cook pretty much since then.  It's been more a case of can cook - can't be a*sed! 

However that has recently changed.  This week for some unexplainable reason I have decided to start printing off recipes and began cooking.  It started with soups, I was getting fed up with buying tins of soup which were loaded with lots of un-recognisable ingredients and seeing as I'm on a huge cost-cutting exercise I thought I'd start doing my own.  My must say my first attempt was scrumptious - I really amazed myself at how good it tasted.  I followed a simple recipe printed from the BBC Food pages and quicker than you could say 'I can't be a*sed' it was done!

here is the evidence...

so there you have it, I am now on the road to making my own soup.  I tweeted about it and even rang my mum because I was so pleased with results!
