Day One Hundred and Twenty Four...

Didn't shoot at archery this morning, went along, did some admin. We went out yesterday and mapped out a new field course on a property we have been given access to. It should be good and we are hoping to invite other clubs to come along for the day and join in.

After that, did the shooping and then cooked. I love to cook and it makes me happy to know that my family eats fresh food that i have made from sccratch. i know what is in it and it has no preservatives or chemicals in it.

That leads me on to lesson two. This is one that i have only really embraced in the last year. Cook what you can yourself, from local indredients if possible and you will be better for it. We have started making a fair chunk of stuff ourselves. I make my own sausages and our meat is sourced from two butchers who get it from local farms. Both of them know the farmers who they get the meat from nd they get it delivered daily. We make our own tomato sauces, our own breads and pretty much else I can make myself. This has made our food so much tastier and also made it much healthier as well. Don't think of cooking as a chore, becuase it is not. It is fun nd something you can do with your family or in a group. Start a baking circle with your friends once a week and spend an afternoon baking, talking and drinking good wine.
