Since Stephen came home I’ve tried some Giada recipes. I made profiteroles, lemon pepper shrimp and pasta with arugula, herb and mustard mayo, and something else I forgot. So far Stephen hasn’t really liked the recipes very much. We both discovered that we didn’t like cooked arugula very much and we don’t like profiteroles that much either. The lemon pepper shrimp and pasta were better… the herb and mustard mayo are kind of eh. Stephen does like my other kinds of cooking though, and I have to say I do as well. When I make up my own dishes as I go along I usually get a better result.

I made some awesome food lately I have to say. I’m still learning but I think I have made some significant progress!! I think desserts are my specialty, but I make some pretty good dinner dishes too. My main gift, I think, is one dish meals. Like casseroles and stuff. I should learn how to make better meals from various dishes though, and not just steak, potatoes, green beans, and ice cream.
