Rachey Cooks for Family, Friends and Charity

The Hubby says not to waste blog space talking about what a slack-arse blogger I am, so I won't. Suffice it to say that although the blog has been a bit idle, the cooking front certainly hasn't been!

Since being on holidays in August (such a long, long time ago!), I've cooked...

• for workmates (Melbourne Cup Lunch and a farewell, plus a bread and butter pudding)
• for charity raising money for cancer research through Can Too and for Cure Cancer Australia while the Hubby gets professional training to run around Sydney
• for friends at the M's House and Mr Testicles' and the Pie Lady's housewarming
• and for family over the Christmas and New Year hols, and had the pleasure to see my one-year old nephew eat cherries, basil pesto and barbecued pork ribs for the first time (and no, not all together!)

In the meantime, the Hubby survived almost a week without me while I went interstate on our annual conference AND managed to make a very respectable dinner using the Cooking for Engineers tabular format for following recipes (that one of my workmates witheringly called a Gantt chart for cooking, much to the Hubby's ire).

And yes, there are photos of dishes I've cooked and just haven't had the chance to post, while friends and family clamour for the recipe of this and that, and for God's sake please update your blog! (yes, Mike, I hear you).

So in the spirit of new year's resolutions, I will work on being a better blogger - whatever that is! Quite likely updating blogs more than just once a few months would be a start. It's probably totally against blogging etiquette, but I will be posting some articles retrospectively as there's some stuff that I'd really like to share. But I'll try not to post them all at once. :)
