Has anybody seen my mojo?

I knew I wouldn't have much time to blog during the summer months but thought I would be well and truly back into it by now, I enjoyed it so much last winter. Sadly this is not the case. Not only has my mojo been long gone but these last few days I've also been suffering from a bad back. This has been particularly frustrating because I'd just started to have the first glimmerings of interest in cooking again ... but bad backs and standing at the hob just don't go together unfortunately.

I hate taking drugs but I was so fed up with not being able to do anything at all these last few days that I asked Mr. P to buy me some anti-inflammatory stuff from the chemist today and I'm hoping this will put me back on my feet. Needless to say once I can stand upright again I shall be wanting to get back into the kitchen. Mr. P has been doing a great job these past days, so not to put him down, but it's just not the same as when I put our meal on the table. Besides which the kitchen is not looking quite as clean and organised as I like it, lol.

Also I've been tagged by Violets over on the Pantry to make some kind of Retro Recipe and I've been thinking about what this could be. This got me reminiscing about childhood foods and what my Mum used to make, not that she was much of a cook, but I have determined to make one of her dishes that I always used to enjoy. Once I can get out and about I'll be buying the ingredients ... so thank you Vi for giving me a push!

Apologies to all my friends who have been dropping by only to find no new posts ... I hope to remedy that shortly.

Hugs
