I've just started and I'm already behind. I'm in charge of the vegetable portion of our co-operative dinner party and my choice to contribute something creative has put my culinary skills to the test. This isn’t hard because I really don’t have many culinary skills.
I was lucky enough to find a spouse who loves to cook. Oh my goodness, it's just so wonderful! We can be at a restaurant and if the dish is worthy he will decipher the ingredients so he can re-create it in our own kitchen. Lucky me!
I, on the other hand, am very good with a take-out menu. I even go so far as to ask the servers if they will combine a bit of column A with a smidgen of column B. Perhaps they can throw in some of Column's C and D? Meg Ryan's character from "When Harry Met Sally" has nothing on me.
So here I stand, trying to prepare a dish that should be fairly simple, considering their instructions. However it seems to be taking me twice as long to do half as much. Did I miss out on the cooking gene?
I will continue on this path of gastronomic pleasure. I know I can do this. I mean, it can't really be this hard to make mashed potatoes, can it?
ALSO:
We have a winner for our Virtual GNO 4/3/09 party. Robin from Cinnamon & Honey is the lucky winner of a beautiful pair of earrings, her color & style choice, from Jewelry and Gifts by Rebecca.
