Any of you who have been anywhere near me and a kitchen know that we have a cordial relationship at best. It's not that I have anything against kitchens, I just don't appreciate their potential.
So, while I won't ever give up on my staples of cold cereal, grilled cheese, popcorn and frozen pizza, it's time that I broaden my horizons.
The rules are simple: each week I'll choose a recipe I've never made before, shop for it, and make it. For the most part they'll be entrees but I'm open to potluck dishes or sides if the right opportunity presents itself. That's all there is to it.
Hopefully by 2010 I'll have 52 new recipes that I'm skilled with and I'll be just a smidge more knowledgeable with all those widgets that seem to clutter up our kitchen drawers and that I occasionally have to wash. Actually, let's get real, the biggest hope is that I won't burn down the kitchen or lose any fingers.
Here goes nothing...
Bravo, Kelly! Brian is in for some real treats...much like when I learned to cook...yikes! Best of luck to you....and your new home :)

Are you going to set up a dropbox for recipe suggestions? I'm happy to offer one up from the several dishes we consistently like. If it's something I can make, it won't be tough. If you're more ambitious, I could include some of Dale's recipes.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you! You are definitely your Mother's daughter. In time (and out of necessity) she became a very good cook.

ReplyDeleteYou might have already seen this NY Times article, but I thought I'd point it out. It has a number of interesting suggestions of how to improve the quality of home cooking in general.
