My hobby

Let me tell you something you may not know about me, I am not a big shopper never have been.  Grocery shopping I love, I love to make wonderful things to eat, making up my own recipes and experimenting on my family.  Regular shopping...... I strongly dislike!!

One thing I have such a hard time resisting........Cook books and recipes!! Oh I love them!! I have been buying/collecting them for years and then "tweaking" them to be my own and make them better.  Well if Im honest not all of the ones I have tried to make "better" ya well thats not how they turned out!

Today I opened my cupboard and looked and I mean REALLY looked, not just opened it and grabbed something but Looked! OH MY!!! I have become a cookbook/ recipe HORDER!!  Ahhhhhhhh.  Some of them date back almost 100 years!  

And I just cant bring myself to get rid of them.  Every time I finally decide I am going to recycle all of the ones I havent looked at in years ( A lot of them!)  They get in the pile and with in ohhhhhhh 15 maybe if Im lucky half an hour.  Yep you guessed it they are right back in the cupboard!  Not only cookbooks but recipes I find in magazines, flyers, online.  

Terrible I know but really it could be worse I dont really spend money on them........It could be shoes.....or house stuff.......or clothes (Ya right).  I know I know excuses excuses.  

But when I am feeling kind of guilty about all of my recipes and cookbooks I realize this is my passion.  I truly LOVE to cook!! I love to create, to experiment.

I may not be a professional but HEY Im not bad :D

So yes I will continue to add to my collection and create....But first I am going to take all of these loose recipes and put them in a binder, and clean my cupboards.....
