Lost in the Supermarket
Every year, I challenge myself to a Project 52. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's literally a 52 week project, whereby you pick a theme (it can be as tenuous as you want) and challenge yourself to work on it every week. My first 52 was to make a dress from scratch, the second was to craft a new fabric or ribbon flower each week which I then made into a bouquet for my best friends wedding. Some have been less disciplined- to try a new food every week or read a weekly book. My Mum baked a new cake every sunday of 2011, my 5 year old niece challenged herself to write a new story every week, my 11 year old nephew challenged himself to learn a new word and incorporate into his homework. Last year, my fiance took a photo of our newborn niece and at Christmas we made a photobook for relatives. It's nice to see how she changed over 12 months. You start to dedicate that time every week to your project and it becomes "me-time", plus it's a bit more fun than a New Years Resolution.
Anyway, this year I am challenging myself to make a freezable meal every sunday that will do me for lunch all week. I might focus on soup- I tend to like only pea & ham and minestrone so it would be good for me to try something new. Plus, it will give me an opportunity to try some new ingredients and stop me from buying crap from sweet shops because I've forgot my lunch again. I've already started rooting about the recipe section- I'm excited about a few already!
Has anybody else tried a Project 52??
