Time for a change
Quite a few times over the last few months I have contemplated ending this blog. This blog was made so I could share my food experiences however, in the last few months, when I thought money couldn’t get much tighter, it has. Posting a blog every now and again when I finally can go out for dinner is not what this blog should be about. It was meant to be about sharing new places and promoting food products I find, constantly and consistently, and if I’m unable to do this then I think it’s time for a change.
I can’t leave my little blog – I love having something to work on that’s fun and involves a passion that I would like in some way to turn into a career. So instead 2012 is about saving money and using what I have and getting what I want in the long term. My cook book collection is getting out of control, my food collection in my fridge is getting smaller and eating out is nearly nonexistent. Because of this, I’ve decided to focus more on my own cooking, focus on sharing with you what cookbooks or foodie items I do have and not the ones I’m going to buy. My new rule to myself this year is NO MORE COOK BOOKS.
I’d like to think the future of this blog will be more of a reflection of me and my shitty little kitchen. The public relations future may take a back burner whilst I focus on what’s in my house and not what’s outside my door. Don’t get me wrong – if I eat out – you will know about it but I think it’s time to focus on one thing and not try and be and do everything when Struggle Street
keeps weighing me down.
Being an Aquarian I am fickle as anything so who knows what I will change next but the decision to change this blog will help keep my cash flow going whilst helping me to focus on the one thing which is something I struggle to do in all parts of my life. This dreamer needs a plan for the future and I’m now on a mission x

Hi Jason – thanks very much for the comment. Yes – I have to say I feel quite good! I checked out your blog – love it – I think I will have to stick to the same pattern of doing at least 1 recipe a week (one I havent tried) otherwise I’ll fall into bad habits. I’ve found for a while now with work, study and all the rest I’ve become such a lazy cook so it will be good to get back on track. I look forward to reading more of your blog

Coz,
I’ve just started my own home cooking food blog. Really daunting considering all the amazing blogs out there. Yours caught my eye as it was fun to read and looked great! I can certainly relate to the having no money bit but loving food. I want my blog to be fun and based on what I make at home and some of the mess I get myself into when I read too many cookbooks. I haven’t posted any recipes yet just a few photos plus I need to work on the presentation and including links etc. I enjoy getting your stuff through fb and just wanted to let you know that it’s been a pleasure reading your blog. Happy food days to come. Cheers!

Hi Helen
Thanks very much for the comment! I’m so happy you found my blog – thank you for our kind words : ) It is totally daunting and I always feel not good enough or that people may be judging what I post…. I’ve started to not really care however, and treat it like an online diary and so I feel heaps better about it. Good luck with the blog – I look forward to checking it out – you must post a link to it!!!
