Weekend Rewind - The Sizzling Hot Edition



Usually the lovely Multiple Mum hosts the Weekend Rewind - but this week I'm kicking back, pouring you all peppermint martinis and inviting you to rewind back in time with me. How do you do that you may well ask? Well, first I offer you a theme.



Yes, this week's theme is cooking. Now, admit it. We all do it or at least try to. We've read books about it, we've watched TV programs about it and many of us are obsessed with it. It should come naturally, as it was to our cavemen ancestors who did it effortlessly, club in hand and buffalo in the other, but alas, some of us have trouble reaching the peaks of perfection the Martha Stewarts and Nigellas seem to achieve so easily. Alas, if you are not Bear Grylls and don't enjoy biting the head off live fish then you will at some point have tried to cook. Some of you may be very good at it. Some of you may be the types who burn water. But whatever your skill level, let's rewind to a fabulous cooking post that you want to share with the rest of us.

So look through your blog archives and link up a cooking post for some new comment love. The rules are the same as always - link up, comment to your heart's content, and use the power of social networking to spread the love to others. Simple? You bet. You also need to become my friend if we are not already acquainted. There is an official Weekend Rewind button up there at the top of this post that you can pop on your post/blog should you wish to.

Oh and here's one to get you giggling... me impersonating celeb cook Paula Deen: Take That Y'all

Now show me yours:

The incident for me was it taking about 4 months to make a recipe which had been in my head. To my credit it worked but I think even for the most disorganised cook, 4 months to make some fishcakes is a bit of a stretch.

EmmaK said...

Mamacook..no, kudos to you for going the distance. I am not more ambitious than fish fingers these days. Will try your fishcakes though if I ever get a spare minute!

I think the fat that I have trawled both blogs back to the beginning and cannot find a single post about cooking, in hindsight, explains the scurvy.

Just found your blog via my chum Stay-At-Home Indie-Pop (one of the Lincolnshire Indie-Pops, as it happens). Everything you write is brilliant, and I shall recommend it to Madame Boyo for steely appraisal. Happy New Year!

Thanks for hosting the Rewind! Although it's a tough topic for me. Just the one recipe in my archives... because it has chocolate in it. Mmmmm, chocolate.

supermac said...

I do not cook but what do you know-- I did have one post about cooking (King For The Day). PS. Lovely to meet you through Weekend Rewind.

Errr...the only thing I can cook up is trouble!

Metropolitan Mum said...

I am an expert in cheese on toast. Seriously, I love a good bit of cooking, but the kitchen we currently have is so tiny, even cheese on toast seems like a major undertaking.

Chat Chick said...

I actually just started posting on my blog, and it has nothing to do with cooking. However, I think food is sexy & I love to cook. I'm not a chef, but I enjoy being in the kitchen, & am a huge fan of FoodNetwork. Thanks Yall! LOL

About Last Weekend said...

I am an assemblage Queen and am rubbish at cooking these days. My only thing is baked root veges with lemon, oil and pear and whole garlic. Thats. It.
