Sorry for being so late getting back to y'all. I've been so busy since the end of the semester (fortunately I kicked ass on finals, and took names afterwards
). Moving to a dialup connection has made it harder for me to find time to post on TFP. But I decided to make some time.
So anyway, I suggested the idea to my family and it was well received. I've been a little lazy lately and have let my grandma do the cooking. But I did a bunch of stuff last week, like:
1) Sweet & sour chicken plus Italian herbed potatoes (excellent dinner as my family's guests said
)
2) Fettucine alfredo with grilled chicken (I screwed up the sauce and had to make some from a mix to salvage the dinner)
3) Chicken dumplings (flat kind, awesome)
4) Tacos using ground deer meat instead of the usual ground cow beef (tasted pretty good)
(you can tell I love chicken by now
)
Shoot. I can't remember what else I cooked last week. Oh well. So let me just say, it was fun doing all that cooking. I learned that the best way to learn how to cook is to read the fine manual(s) and practice, practice, practice (and have fun while you are at it)!
I found a nice website called
Recipe Source that has a huge recipe database. But I think real cookbooks provide better details and plans.
Oh yeah, and my grandma liked not having to cook every day.
Thanks to everyone for their comments!
