This is a journal of my trials and errors cooking with my dearest friends and a list of my tried and true recipes...

...ahh, the start of another cooking club...pounded meat, chopped onion and an uncorked bottle of wine...
This was a great salad...the peppery arugula, sweet grape tomato, cool
cucumber with creamy avocado in a lemony dressing...Andrea I need the
recipe for the dressing....I loved this salad!
I don't think we made enough.....for FIVE people
rolling and wrapping in string was quite an interesting chore...they came out beautifully and tasted equally as good.
Tonight's entree was a quite complicated Mexican dish, ham, spinach and
carrots rolled with sirloin in a heavenly sauce...
...and became traumatized, so she had to tell us the story....that's all I'm going to say...trust me, you had to be there!
...still the toothpick story...
Stacey fights to roll out the fondant (Rexx, you would have enjoyed this)...she uses all of her upper body strength and it is still extremely difficult
then...
Andrea decides to read the directions, we forget to do that quite often, of course, this was also after Cosmos and wine and...anyway, the directions say to knead it with your hands until it is pliable enough to roll out...hmmmm, maybe the next food network show...a comedy of course.
...for my dear friends that aren't here to watch him grow up...you know who you are!
he wants you to see that he's getting his adult teeth....thank goodness!
...nice profile.... how many tiles big am I now? Rexx...Nekije...where are you? I am so much fun now, I swim laps...anything for a hot dog!
