Today i drove down to visit my folks at the beach. It was an absolutely glorious day. The sort of weather that i think about mid winter and wish for. The kind of day that all happy childhood memories seem to have been formed on. Or perhaps it just seems that way afterwards.

Being new to this blogging thing i am unsure about how to get started. Do i simply start, write embarrassing posts about nothing at all that i will look back on once i have have become a blogging expert and wince. Or do i write tiny structured comments on a topic and stick to that topic alone.

Perhaps this should be a blog about me starting a blog...or not because that would be dull. How do people with interesting blogs make them interesting. I guess they have a theme. I don't have a theme. I should get one. No one wants to read about me not having a theme. So theme ideas....cooking, i love to cook but i think a blog all about cooking would be a little conceited as i have no qualifications and my expertise seems to lie in turning left overs into food that looks new. For example:

Turkey Burger:

Post Christmas we experienced a glut of cooked turkey and there are only so many sandwiches a person can eat with out begging for mercy. So i made patties out of cooked turkey with the aid of my helpful bar mix.

Cooked turkey processed in choppy bit of bar mix, the thing with the rotating blade (hopefully people know what i am talking about)until it is like breadcrumbs.

Fresh breadcrumbs - not dried store bought variety made from stale bread

Macadameia nuts - (for my 22,000 american readers, you can leave these out or substitute for any other nut)

2 eggs

Salt and Pepper

Olive oil

Combine all ingredients and mix until it can be molded into patties, add a little more egg or oil if the mix it still dry. It should not be too sticky. Fry in olive oil until golden brown, eat with pickle, relish or cranberry sauce.

These were quite tasty and a good change from plain turkey. They are more filling than they look and need to be accompanied by lots of salad so they are not too stodgy.

I think i will add recipes that work out well (please feel free to add improvements in the comments or your own version of any recipes) wedding planning stuff and any other rambling ideas.

I think i will need to shape up and stop babbling when i actually have people reading this. That is all from me today.
