I
hate to break it to you but there's a month of football (soccer) from
14th June to 15th July. In the UK we also have
two weeks of Wimbledon in that mix so it is going to be a stressful
time if you're not that keen on sport!
You
may decide to embrace the football – it's every day and lots of
matches – will you have a get together at weekends or will you want
to fill the fridge with food so that everyone can help themselves
whilst you beat a hasty retreat – a spot of retail therapy? In our
house it's supper on a tray in front of the tv – I do use plates
too.
My
plan is to do just that – plan – if only in a relaxed fashion.
I'm going to make life easy and decide what to cook – freeze as
much as I can so that I can then pull it out as the mood takes. I
concede that I will shop for fresh stuff and may be beer and snacks
too.
I
thought you might like to share my thoughts.
I
always begin in the same place – if the oven is on then I'll do my
best to fill it. I'll bake jacket potatoes and cook double the
amount of roast potatoes and vegetables. I'll fill the slow cooker
too.
I
think the mantra for the month is quick, easy and tasty. You'll not
get any accolades because quite frankly they are too busy watching.
I would definitely advise not planning on cooking that really
complicated cordon bleu meal you've been thinking about yet awhile.
Unless of course you have an urge to drive yourself bonkers.
There's
no doubt that the biggest problem is not the cooking but what to
cook. I'd definitely recommend you add a bottle of your favourite
tipple to your shopping list – if all else fails you can retire to
a darkened room with said bottle and a straw – who needs a glass –
more washing up!
I'm
going to do my best to help ...
