My first confession

My name is Jinni and I have a confession.  I've been watching porn.

Food porn, that is, in the delectably inspiring form of Nigella's Kitchen on iplayer.
This is probably a bit full-on, a bit too much information for my first ever blog post, but I feel that if I am going to do this, I may as well do it properly and be completely honest with you, dear reader.  I am not going to say that I am a foodie, a foodaholic, completely obsessed with food and all those other platitudes that get bandied around, but I do really rather like the stuff.  I do think about it rather a lot, I do have rather too many cookbooks for someone of my tender years and tenderer budget and I do believe that food is the basis of every good social gathering.  That may be a girlie tea, a post-apocalyptic night out fry-up or a romantic meal where you don't even notice the food...all of these things are utter bliss to me.
However, please do not think that I believe that the only way to eat and enjoy good food is in company, good heavens, no.  Most of the time, I cook just for me and I take just as much pleasure in doing that as I do cooking for other people.  I have been getting very over-excited of late and taking pictures of the things that I have created, which has prompted me to start this blog.  What's the point of the pictures if I don't do anything with them?  They will just languish, lonely and unloved, on Facebook or my USB drive thingy, like all those photos in a box that I keep meaning to put into albums and frames.
So, dear reader, if you care to follow me into the next post, please do.  Just so long as I can work out how to upload photos...
