My First Attempt at Real Cooking
Last night I tried cooking for real, for the first time in years. Growing up I was a crappy cook. There are loads of horror stories about terrible meals that the boys had to eat, because Mother was trying to teach me to cook. She is a perfectionist and very impatient and I'm easily frustrated as Daddy use to describe the scene. However I thought I would chronical the attempt last night, so for your amusement...
Here they are cooking.
Here's the first diasterous batch. Burnt all up.
But I tried again. And now they look much, much better. I even made homemade, honey mustard sauce!
Kat and Matthew looking a little nervous and anxious about dinner.
See I'm cooking here, there is a cookbook (Rachel Ray's 365: No Repeats, a Year of Deliciously Different Dinners). I also have three bowls of stuff and I'm rolling chicken in flour, egg, and bread crumbs.
