It did kind of take a nose dive, didn't it, Karen?


Well, the chef is on the sidelines these days, except for planning and coaching, but the sous-chef is doing a fine job. He did a nice pasta on Saturday, a lovely Butter Chicken on Sunday, a Thai stirfry on Monday, Smokies and Panfries last night. I think I may suggest mac and cheese for tonight.

I haven't been doing the same amount of cooking since I moved out on my own but my new friend cooks which is a refreshing change for me so we sort of take turns cooking and sharing.
He makes an awesome strawberry shortcake biscuit and fabulous ribs.

Tomorrow I am going to make something I have had a craving for: Shrimp, Crab, and Artichoke Hearts au Gratin. From the Colorado Cache cookbook. Yummmm!

Your sous chef sounds much more capable than mine!



Today we are having the leftovers from yesterday's pasta.

He's much more able than he thinks, actually, but he's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of practice. But the moves are coming back, and it's mostly the logistics that are rusty, not the instincts. He's even thinking about some of the things he used to do, and wondering about trying them again.

He did the M&C last night. It was great and, like you, we'll have leftovers tonight. He has to get out to choir practice (not me
yet) so it'll make an easy quick meal.

Oh if my DH saw this he'd want to come over and help you eat this. I am not a fan of mussels but he will eat them all day if he could. Especially PEI ones as that is where is family is from.

I think it is Halal meat, I'm still waiting for him to come back with it and I'm sooo hungry, they are sooo yummy
