Cooking

Kevin is out of town at a meet (he coaches cross country), so I decided to experiment in the kitchen - always risky, for those who know me.

I am a HUGE fan of "Semi-Homemade" on the Food Network, if only because it takes the scary factor out of cooking for me - if I can use things that already exist, how badly can I screw up a dish? I know that "real" cooking works like this, too, but for some reason Sandra Lee's calm voice and non-threatening kitchen make sense to me, and so I'm hooked.

Tonight, I made flounder filets with a roasted red pepper cream sauce and asparagus risotto - delicious.

AND, I baked bread! Cheesy beer bread - double delicious. My previous bread experiences have been disastrous, so this loaf is a beautiful testimony to hope and second chances.
