Where it all begins

It's always tricky to start something, especially when it's been a ideas whiz zing around your head for ages, but now you've gone and actually sorted it out your not 100% what to do with this vast expanse of Internet, once you've chosen a background and messed around with DNS settings. I'll start at the start, hi, my name is Nia and I like cooking. Well, in fact, I like food, and learning to cook is the easiest way to get nice food - cheapest too. I also enjoy baking by I'm a little rubbish at making things pretty.

Most of all I love cookbooks, the promise they hold especially - ad its from my cookbook collection blog the idea for this blog came  - the name* especially. The more I looked back over my cookbook collection, the more I though about the for I made, or the food I ate out - and somehow neither my 'ooh, look what I'm doing, marvel at my exciting life' personal blog or my cookbook library one seemed quite the right place to  Write about it - which is where SixFourOne comes in (or sixfoursome as my naughty iPad keeps autocorrecting) I'm also not entirely sure where this will lead, which in it's self is a little exciting...

 * 641 is the section of the Dewey decimal system dedicated to food and cookery, I still haven't worked out a way to organise my cookbooks, suggestions on a postcard please.

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes
