Something New #1

Week #1. 
FOOD!

I love food. Always have. As a young girl, still too young to be actually allowed into the kitchen, I would set up one of my parents lofts as a restaurant and then tell my siblings that they were going to be costumers in my restaurant. When they would finally give in and sit down, I would take their orders and then precede to draw their order out on paper in detail. There my family would sit and pretend to take bites out of paper chicken and sip from two dimensional glasses of milk. Yes, my poor family must have REALLY loved me.I later made it up to them when I was finally allowed into the kitchen. I cooked them yummy meals. I loved every second of it- even down to dishing the plates up and making sure each one looked to perfection.
Since my separation and divorce, I've barely cooked. It was one of the few things my  ex-husband would compliment me on and for some reason it was really painful to do it after I was single. Silly I know...SO, I'm going to get it going again!
This week I'm going to cook something every day. Some will be new recipes I've never tried before. Some will be old favorites. YUMMY food here I come!

  1. Oh I remember those "paper picnics" so well! I always admired how you colored them and made them so appetizing, even if it was torture to have to sit down. Haha, good times.
    I'm looking forward to the goodies you post about. Loves
