I love to cook. I love researching recipes, shopping for them, preparing, presenting… I truly enjoy it all. Unfortunately, I married someone who would rather eat Chinese take-out every night than an impressive home-cooked meal. {Tragic, isn’t it?} Everything I prepare is judged by how it ranks to his beloved Hunan Garden’s Sesame Chicken.

I have some issues, if you all haven’t noticed by now. One you may not know about is my strong aversion to raw chicken. Once I’ve handled it, all fleshy and slimy and pink, I have a really tough time consuming it. One exception to my self imposed rule is my chicken salad. Maybe it’s [...]

I’ve mentioned my husband’s taste in food a few times here (he doesn’t have much, in case you missed those posts.) When I look at his childhood though, I really can’t blame him. His mom hasn’t cooked since 1985 (a New Year’s resolution that she stuck to) and his Grandmother cooked most of the meals [...]

I really love food. I love eating at fancy restaurants. I annoy Jeff by walking down city streets and stopping to read every single menu posted outside. The thought of a 5 star, 5 course dinner gives me chills. Despite clipping coupons and gripping about gas prices, it’s an expense I can totally [...]
