One of the toughest parts of shelling peas is not eating half of the peas in each pod during the shelling process.

Cutting up raw meat is my least favorite part of cooking. Not sure why.
Oh, wait. That’s not true. Cleaning up afterwards is my least favorite part of cooking.

Being less wealthy than we’d like, we shop at Lidl. Luckily, that means we can still afford junk. Just not brand name junk. I highly recommend that you never purchase Rusti-Chips. They are icky and nothing like Pringles. Crusti-Croc brand snacks, on the other hand, are pretty good and they make some American-ish potato chips and pretzels.
(I am loath to put this into the “food” category, but I will.)

Michelle takes some really cool close-up photos of everyday things. Here’s my attempt. Not nearly as cool. But what the photo is of is pretty exciting. My mother got me a subscription to Cooking Light magazine. I love that magazine because it always has great recipes in it. I think the “Light” part of the name is a bit of a misnomer because they just aim to have recipes that will fit into meals to meet the current dietary recommendations. So it’s mostly normal food, not diet food. I already made the curry-spiced sweet potatoes. Mmmmm.

Some people are really good at photographing food. I am not. I did, however, do quite a good job of baking these pudding cakes. They’re from the book Small Batch Baking and the recipe only makes two. I love them - they’re self-saucing and it’s like having a little hot fudge cake all to yourself.
