Greetings Jamie and all. I have just joined today and don't know a lot yet but I am very excited about joining. Thank you Jamie for all the tips you have given me over the years and look forward to learning a lot more from you.

Hello Jamie and everybody!
I joined the site yesterday-boxing day and I'm looking forward to joining in with the forums and posting blogs (I've wanted to do this for ages but have never got round to it). I am a mum to 3 children, work part time and have a passion for cooking, baking and all things homemade! I am a huge Jamie fan as it is all practical everyday cooking which is great, especially when you are cooking for children, (I also love all the products too, I'm a regular Jamie at home party goer and I'm slowing collecting them for my home!)

I look forward to chatting with everyone and please look out for my blog (to help me get started!) Thank you!
 

Hello there everyone,
This is to tell you a little about our simple life.  Love cooking and growing our own food.  Living life simply.  We have a small hobby farm here in New Brunswick Canada.  We started our adventure going on 4 years now. Sold our large home and downsize to a smaller one, which was built by my dh.  Lived in a shed 20X12 which 16 X 12 (3 of us live in while home being built for about 2 months, me, my dh and 80 year old mother in law, who is a real trooper).  Cooked on a camp fire stove and barbeque.  We used coolers, lugged water ,shower outside,washed on a wash board.  Let me tell you this is an adventure itself and makes you appreciate the finer things in life.   To date we have had a very large garden, (Freeze and bottle our own), raised 2 pigs (dh says never again), meat kings (roasting chickens, this has been a good venture for us), Turkeys (5 this year and another good venture), and of course our lovely ladies ,28 laying hens for our lovely eggs which everyone loves.  (These are my dh ladies).  We started this venture to be self sufficent and are on our way.  This has been hard work however well worth it.  Living the simple life and loving it.

Halloechen,

I live in Montreal and am a big fan of digestible food and elevensies. In my real life I'm an English teach who enjoys cooking to chill out at the end of the day. Watching Jamie jazz up British cooking and its rep has been a real treat. My friends and my favourite and only daughter and I checked out La Maison Publique when it opened in Montreal in October. Thumbs way up on the atmosphere, service and salads! More bites and fewer meals might be a good idea.

Bon appetit!
