I have no idea what has gotten into me. For years, my motto has been "if it takes longer to cook it than to eat it - what is the point?" Cooking has been on my list of Things I Enjoy Least. I'd rather clean up the aftermath than actually prepare the meal.
There is even a magnet on my refrigerator that says "WHERE THERE'S SMOKE THERE'S DINNER." It was a gift from my dad, who knows me well!
However, here it is, a couple of days before my birthday and I just sat down with my old recipe box. I got this recipe box as a wedding anniversary gift (26 years ago) and have collected recipes from all over the place. Family members, magazines, cookbooks, the internet.
After going through the note cards, I decided to make a list of the ingredients I'd need to make a few of these dishes. So... I am saying good-bye to "open can, microwave, serve" and hello to "chop, dice, saute, etc."
We'll see how it goes...
