Taking Stock: June 2017

Another quarter of the year is now behind us, so I’m taking stock and reflecting on where I am right now. As always I’m using the excellent prompters started by the lovely Pip from Meet Me At Mikes. If you want to join in I’d love to read what you have to say as well!

Making: big messes in my kitchen every weekend. Bulk cooking & small kitchens can be a challenge!
Cooking: lots of soups, curries and other warming dishes
Drinking: plenty of coffee as always, plus the occasional glass of red wine
Reading: The United States of Absurdity – the book from one of my favourite podcasts, The Dollop

 what to listen to next, my podcast list is getting out of hand!
