Things I have learned today.

I can't taste things when I'm listening to music. I can't decide whether this is interesting biology or slightly mental.

I'm cooking a cauliflower cheese (no laughing at the back there, it's mighty tasty - I do a cracking cheese sauce) at the moment and I had to take my headphones out to taste the sauce because I just couldn't taste anything whilst I was listening to music. Strange.

I'm now about to try and get a handle on the sausages - I just can't cook them, they're my culinary nemesis. I don't know what it is, I've tried many different ways and it's never come good for me. Today I am baking them in the oven at 200 degrees with tin foil underneath. I have not pricked them. I have tried frying with olive oil, sunflower oil, sunflower spray, vegetable oil, I have tried grilling, I have tried pricking them and not pricking them, I've tried flash frying and putting them into the oven to bake. My mum is partial to boiled sausages, but I am not yet that desperate. Well, maybe I am. I'm almost ready to give this cooking stuff malarkey up completely.

My cheese sauce though, that keeps me going.
