Time to cook and time for other things

Have you heard of MamaBake?

Mamabake is brilliant food revolution that you just might get a bit excited about. Someone tweeted about it the other day and I can't get over how cool and idea it is. It reminds me a little of the sense of community behind Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food.

MamaBake is where Mamas (and single ladies) get together with a group of girlies from their community and cook.

The website describes it beautifully as:

MamaBake is group, big batch cookery where local Mamas get together once a week and cook one big batch recipe each.  The batch then gets divvied up amongst all the Mamas at the end of the session and everyone goes home with a few nights worth of dinners for their families.  

You may be asking why.

Well, if you get together in a group and each lady cooks up one meal in a big batch and leaves with food for a few days or a week you're saving time. You get to have all your cooking done in one week and then can use other time usually spent wondering what to get for dinner on other stuff.

Forge Pizzareia

A new wood fired pizza house has opened up not far from my house. I loved the atmosphere of the place, the menu was tasty and what we ended up ordering was quite possible one of the best pizzas I've ever eaten.

Fortunately for me (and you) I happened to have my camera on me. These are some snaps that I took whilst awaiting our pizza.
