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...
