Perils of blogging #1
OK, so I thought I was multitasking setting up the blog while making chutney. The result? Burnt chutney! Memo to self (and anyone else thinking of trying) - chutneymaking and blogging do not mix!
PS If anyone has some good tips on how to clean burnt chutney from the bottom of the saucepan, I'd be happy to hear them.
PPS I think I got it in time and most of the chutney is edible.

Getting started
Setting up this blog hasn't been as scary as I thought it might be. I'm doing it at home because, as many of you have noted, there isn't time at work.
So, while I'm blogging I'm also making chutney, hence the name...
But there seem to be some parallels anyway.
You take a bunch of ingredients and, using some basic formulas, you create something that is unique. My mango and plum chutney will not be the same as anyone else's, even if we used exactly the same recipe. Considering I didn't use a recipe, I guess it's unlikely to be reproduced even by me.
I hope that this blog will have enough variance, despite the same ingredients, to make it worth writing and reading!
