My First Attempt at Real Cooking

by - 3:23 PM

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...

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.
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.
Ultimately they decided it was great. We were all happy and much relieved!
