An article in the Green Guide (favourite TV Guide) led me to sit down and watch the first "Masterchef Australia" which has just begun on our TV.
I am not sure if I will love it enough to keep watching it, but my delight in the first show, where they were weeding through applicants, was the first one who got through to the semi finals. She said that she loved cooking comfort food sort of meals, basic, but delicious; and wanted to do homestyle cooking but out of the home so people could come to her to eat it. (Something like that!)
And she made a delicious meal that Matt Preston hugged her for.
I looked at my daughter (who hears all about my YamDaisy ideas) and she grinned back as I said "I would SO employ that woman for my YamDaisy Cafe!"

Anzac Day
I am preparing to talk to the Chef at the Sliding Door Cafe about a possible school project we could do together. My idea is to join school healthy eating around "Sometimes Food" and "Everyday Food" my Comfort Food '09 and the Sliding Door Cafe's community food focus. I need to see if the cafe is able to be involved, as I know they are pretty pressured at the moment with apprenticeships and catering. That's on my list for first thing next week.
I have been reading a book about colour in website design (thanks Libby and Robert) but I think I have done all I can to make the background look pale yellow. If more computers are seeing a nasty orange I will have to rethink.
I am having such fun on the Jamie Oliver site, it is very well set up. But I put up a topic about Comfort Meals without thinking to talk about my project first. I got some lovely replies and a great range of meals, plus lots of calls for a Fabulous Food Fairy! But I haven't got permission to put those meals up on my site. I think I can count them in at the end though.
I still want to start a blog there, but I am not sure my health is up to doing it. I will wait a little longer and see.
And I need to put up some more news on the website so it is interesting enough for people to keep coming back!

Two Blogs!
I spent some time today looking at the blogs on the Jamie Oliver website and decided that this sort of blog - following the process of my project, isn't really going to work there!
But I might have a try at doing two blogs, starting a more general food and life blog there. I will have to find a digital camera though, as they seem to be very photo focussed. Another thing to learn! But it is a very good networking place. I have got some great Comfort Food replies from putting the topic there, and there are a lot of other good things to do.
I have had a few days to recover from my big day on Monday, but I will do more tomorrow. I was so successful putting up News Sheets that I ran out. (I only printed 8 but they aren't going quite so far and wide yet). I will print another four. And I will chase that background for websites info.
Then I had better sit down at my desk and get my YamDaisy files up to date.
I have had some lovely feedback about my site: that there are interesting things to read, - so that means it is time to think about putting new interesting things to keep the momentum (such as there is!).
