Thoughts from the kitchen table

Hi, Cookiemonster here!

Well, there was the usual argument before my family left. They are my daughter and granddaughter and you'll get used to them and to me, we are all forthright in our views and unafraid to speak them so we start in a state of argument. Don't be fooled - we adore each other and are really close.

Cookiemonster jr (CMJ) is my daughter and Cookiemonster minor (CMM) is my granddaughter. CMM is nearly 9 years old and is pictured here on the banks of a loch.

They've gone to meet a friend for lunch and then they'll be back because tonight is Dr Who night and that's sacred in this house!! They don't live with me by the way, but we are often together.

My computer is in the bedroom and so is the kitchen which was delivered in February!! So the kitchen table isn't exactly there yet. But my great passion is cooking so you'll find a lot of food references, recipes and other related topics in this blog!!

Enough for now. Hope you will keep touching base with us to see what we're up to and what is making us happy, sad or mad. Opinions will abound - be sure of that!!!

Later......
