This blog...

This blog is about finding ways to spend more time with the people you love. It's aimed at people between say 18 and 35, who find themselves moving out of home, moving in with flatmates, just married, or with a brand new baby. Those of us who, quite simply, are living with people. This blog is an attempt to find ways to do that, living with people, well. 

We spend so much time working, cleaning the house, worrying about bills, and too little with the people we're supposed to be living our lives with. On this blog I'm trying to find shortcuts to those domestic chores that tie us up, but are still important to maintaining our quality of life. I'm looking for ways to put meals together quickly, and ways to eat well while including the people we love into the preparing of those meals, and the eating of them. Too many tv dinners, too much arguing over things that don't matter, too much lost conversation. This is what we're looking for: 

* Good food, prepared at home, easily made, eaten together
* Domestic chores and how to get around arguing over them
* How to make the kitchen a place everyone wants to be, hopefully together
* Food that brings us together - learning from the French, the Italians, and no more tv dinners
* Clever domestic tricks that save us money, time, thereby giving us more time with our people
* How to stop arguing over chores - case studies of people who have figured certain things out
* How to move in with someone new - and tricks on making living together perfect for you
* How to get fit, healthy and happy with someone else

This list will be added to, changed, improved, as we move on.
