The sweet smell of cinnamon

Have you noticed that there seems to be 365 recipes in 365 days or the like type blogs/posts popping up all over the place?? Well I have.. and as I'm still unsure what to do with this blog I thought I would use it to record some of the things that I cook. I will also use it to record some of my craft experiments ( I call them experiments because when I sit down to make something I dont alway have a clear idea of how it's going to work out.. I usually jusst plan on playing around)

So today we have an "Apple and Cinnamon Pie". When I did the grocery shopping today they had granny smith apples on special so I threw them in the trolley and then spent the rest of my shopping trip wondering what I was going to do with them.. I decided to turn half of them into baby food for my little man and then remembered how good they smelt last time I was cooking them for him.. and thought of apple pie.

Just like usual I didnt follow a recipe and kind of just threw things together, ended up being

7 Granny Smith Apples
2 tsp Cinnamon Sugar
1 sheet Puff Pastry

Peel and dice the apples, put them into a saucepan with the cinnamon sugar and heat gently until soft. Put in a pie dish and cover with the sheet of puff pastry. Sprinkle with a little castor sugar and place in the oven to gently brown.

I hope to be able to include as much of my cooking and craft adventures as I can and will warn you now that most of them will probaly center around my little man, he is the center of my life!!

First Blog!

So I'm not really sure that anyone is really going to want to read what I have to write but "blogging" seems to be the in thing right now and I thought I would like to join the craze, I mean why not I have jumped on the band wagon with just about everything else..

First there was "piczo" (I think this was a very long time ago), this was followed by "myspace" which I actually managed to maintain for a few years but then after not acessing it for awhile forgot my password and cant remember my login name, then along came "facebook", now I must confess I am a self diagnosed facebook addict! I have the application on my iPhone and use it several times daily.. I just can't get enough. I even have a facebook account for my 4 month old son..
I believe that this is another thing that I will probably become quite addicted to and will suffer withdrawals on those months when we manage to cap the internet from downloading to many movies..

For now though it is probably time that I say goodnight, I am off to bed to facebook and think about where I would like to take this blog and just what exactly I would like to achieve with it.

Night All
