Turning over a new leaf
Trying to be better.
Since the Mrs is pregnant, and working late alot of time. So meals really dont get cooked. And the mrs hinted it would be nice if I learned to cook......so....I did.
Before we left on sarah's birthday suprises to Great Wolf Lodge(pictures coming soon), I enlisted some help of some friends online elsewhere, two ladies and a guy, who DO know how to cook and said, ok, give me something.
So, with my cell phone and some emails to help me out when I had stupid guy questions about cooking.....I cooked dinner. Grabbed Sarah after work, we went shopping, and then came home, made her a fast dinner and proceeded to time it so dinner would be ready by the time she got home.
So I cooked. I made mash potatoes, from real potatoes, some peas, and a nice set of pork chops with a honey glaze. And picked up apple sauce. And it came out perfect.
Kim walked in and after saying hello, said "what smells so good?" Lead her to the kitchen and let her see(and no I didn't make a big mess), she LOVED it. It was good, she had two helpings and couldn't get the big grin off her face.
So tomorrow, Saturday, I'm off to make her some nice Cornish hens with cranberry sauce/glaze....*grin*

Do you need some easy recipes Carm? I'm loaded.
Yes please. I can always take more. I'm trying to learn a bunch of different things.
Just keep in mind I'm learning....so you might have to break it down a bit more.
