Hello, there!

This blog was my brainchild after the sudden realisation that fat-free, or low fat, cooking can be delicious cooking! I'm not vegetarian, although I try to be. So not all my recipes can be eaten my vegetarians or vegans.

Who is Moodie? Well, I must admit, i am a fussy eater. In fact, I am pretty high up on the list of picky eaters. And when I don't get what I want, I get moody. Hence, the nickname. There are times i won't touch tomatoes, and times i just want to gobble them up. So i have moody foodie swings. All pun intended, of course.

I cook.
Cook, bake, saute, boil, blanch, roast, grill, simmer. I do it all. How well i do it, now that's a different story. But with every failure (and that's a lot, and a lot, of failures) I'd like to think i get a little bit better at it.  I never let a collapsed sponge cake deter me. I will never scream at the broiler (not out loud). I will never chuck my grill across the kitchen when mushrooms get sticky (my grill is pretty heavy). So come join me as I attempt not to lose my temper at inanimate kitchen objects, and create brilliant, delicious, healthy food.

I Snap.
Me and my Canon EOS 500d are one. we are bonded at the hip. Although lighting may not always be my friend (that's what you get when you live in a rainy country), i try my best. Not all my photos come out great, but i have worked hard on them and i would appreciate it if they are treated with respect. Feel free to use my images, but do try to contact me first.

I Write.
Although not always well, writing is something i love doing, and do often. Sure, my words can get muddled up. i guarantee that a few posts will leave you scratching your heads. Sometimes i barely understand myself. But the pen, and the keyboard, help me tell the world who i am. Even if it's a jumble of words that seem to make no sense.

I Eat.
I have struggled with my eating in the past, and I still do at the present. Sometimes all i want to do is stay away from food. But i understand that food is what keeps us going, and that we all need it. So why not have it healthy and delicious at the same time? I do try to eat a little bit of everything i make, and i hope that in the future i would be able to overcome my eating problems. This blog is something i have come up with to help me at it, as afraid of fat-laden food as i am. I am slowly gaining weight, but healthy weight. You never have to be small to show how big your soul is.

I share.
What's the fun in doing something if you can't share it? Although i am not sure many people would like to be on the receiving end of my long-winded posts and rambling writing, just knowing that it is out there for anyone to see makes me happy.

I hope you enjoy my blog. Don't be shy, contact me. Just drop a comment anywhere on my blog and 'ping!' I will get it (technology is amazing in that way). I will try to answer any questions that you have, but in the event that i can't, google is my secret weapon. If you'd prefer to be a bit more private, drop me an email at silly.zilly@hotmail.com.
