The Challenge

The challenge itself will consist of having to prepare, cook and blog 90 different meals in as close to three months as possible.
There will of course be times, when Sam and I may go out as a couple and it's not possible to sort a meal out which is why I've decided on 90, different dishes.

Some people will look at this as say, "So what! We cook every day!!" Well, I say, "Do you cook 90 different dishes?"
The chances are probably rather slim, as we all know that there always tends to be the same dishes that we cook week in, week out,  purely based on the fact that it's quick, simple and we know what we are doing.

My blog will of course include the trusty favourites like Shepherd's Pie, Cottage Pie and Lasagne, but hopefully with a bit of variation in the way we'd normally do them.



I'm looking at this challenge as something positive - something to look forward to at the end of the day (when I'm not thinking of my wife! ;)
So I may have to cut down on the FIFA time and spend a little more in Sainsburys but so what? We need food to live, so why not enjoy it?



At first I thought the task ahead would be stressful and arduous, but will it be?
How many of us have that recipe book (or in my case, several) that sits on a shelf or in a cupboard untouched apart from the day you got it as a gift?
How many times did we say, "I'm going to attempt that tempura batter......I'm going to make a stroganoff...."
Well, now is that time people!


As I have now joined the "Android" community, I'm hoping to include pictures along the way. I've just got to figure out how to sort that out.


All in all, this is a challenge that I am looking forward to, and I hope that it might inspire some people along the way.
