It just occurred to me that I should probably highlight the actual successes I achieve in my cooking, in addition to chronicling my failures (like the Mother's Day Strawberry Shortpancake or the caramelized rice krispie treats). I've mentioned treats I've made since (homemade taquitos, for one, cookies with Jennifer for two) but (until now) have never said, straight out: I am not a total failure at cooking! I only require practice and patience (and simple recipes, the assistance of someone who actually knows what they're doing and occasionally a boy or a dog to serve as a garbage disposal).
I made biscuits and gravy for dinner yesterday. I'm eating the leftovers now for lunch. And although the recipes for the biscuits and gravy were both super easy, I feel like a pro. Jennifer even dropped by on her way home from California (well, really on her way back to Provo after being home in California), ate with us, and pronounced the meal good!
It was very delicious. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer likes how 'boy' and 'dog' are interchangeable in this scenario. XD She also, once again, gives her approval! I'd eat your biscuits and gravy any day!I'm sure Lee Min Ho would approve as well. Did you know he's coming to Provo?!?! Just to see Jennifer?!?!?! lol
ReplyDeleteI heard. Jennifer even offered to drive him to California. Awfully nice, don't you think? haha
ReplyDeleteJennifer'll have to be sure to stay 10 miles an hour under the speed limit, just to make the moment last longer. ^^
ReplyDelete10 mph? Jennifer has a lot more patience than JM does!
ReplyDeleteAnd when, pray tell, is the illustrious Lee Min Ho coming to Provo? And for what purpose? I assume that coming to see Jennifer was just a perq. (Yes, I know most people spell it "perk," but it's a derivative of "perquisite," so I use "perq.")
ReplyDeleteI don't think he said when, did he, Jen? Sara- he called her on Melanie's phone. (Tyler played voice actor.) Perquisite, huh? I never knew that word. Until now. :)
ReplyDeleteNo one ever said the English language made sense. (Regarding spelling "perk" with a k)
ReplyDeleteOr it was originally spelled "perq" but people misheard it and pejoration happend. Or melioration (also sometimes spelled "amelioration", depending on your point of view. I will go for corruption.
