#83: See the Hairy Bikers live - achieved!

Last night I went through to Glasgow with a friend and we were treated to a hilarious evening of cooking, funny stories and terrible singing. The sight of Dave Myers in a purple spandex leotard, singing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", is one that I won't be forgetting any time soon! The food smelled great and I'll definitely be trying out some of their curry ideas some time soon!

New meal for March

I'm keeping up with cooking a new dish every month, and with cooking more veggie food because so far they've all been veggie things - in fact as I'm trying to become vegetarian I doubt I'll be cooking new meat dishes!

So here is the offering for March - butternut squash risotto. Very nice indeed! And healthier than the version I used to do with chicken and bacon!

In the pipeline

At the moment there are various items underway - I'm reading The Lord of the Rings, I've completed my book for my Girl Guiding leadership warrant and just waiting for it to be returned, making plans for getting my catering qualification too. We're off to see the Hairy Bikers in a couple of weeks, at their stage show in Glasgow. I've also set about booking a couple of retreats to fulfill a couple of the points on here - a week-long retreat and a vegetarian cooking weekend! Over the summer I'm also hoping to do some of the friend visits, combining them with other things while I'm there. Fingers crossed that I'm still on track to finish 30 by the end of 2010!

Oh, and of course, I'm trekking the Great Wall of China in only 3 weeks' time! Eep!
