Sarah Discovers How to Eat – Progress Report #8 [January]

Sarah makes her first ham! And appears in Australian Gourmet Traveller! Wow!


Facts & Figures

Bloody hell, I only made 28 recipes this month! This is because of work, Chinese New Year, and general apathy.

My recipe rate is down to 1.06.

I really need to turn it up a notch. Bam!

My progress

Everything seems to be going smoothly (touch wood) and the whole cooking-and-eating-together thing is really enjoyable. I think I’ve reached the stage of the project where I really need to just get my head down and push on through.
