I can't cook...
I have never been proud to admit that I am not the type of girl that can slave over a stove and cook up a feast for 20 people (or two for that matter) that is delicious and good looking all at the same time. I sit back and watch my mother just throw ingredients into a pot with her hands, knowing just how much to grab and I am always searching for the measuring cup and still screwing it up!! My only blessing is that I am Italian so I made it a point to at least learn how to cook those dishes. Anything else is off the table. Literally. I tried meatloaf one time and really... it was disgusting! You know it's bad when the dog even spits it out! I am in total envy of a woman that can cook, bake and make fabulous dishes all in a days work. Maybe that's my problem... I work too much and thus, can't get enough cooking time in to learn. I swear though, I can do a mean PB&J!!

The first time I made meatloaf, I mistook brown sugar for breadcrumbs...not a good result. *cough* anyway.... I have a limited list of recipes I can cook, but my fave would have to be this lemon and tuna risotto - soooo easy but soooo yummy!
My hubby is the everyday cook in our family. And BOY he can cook. He takes alot of time perfecting his recepies, and it pays off. Although sometimes when I DO get in the kitchen he is a bit of a controll freak. I am the desert/sweet cook in our family. When I go to a party or something, I always make my cupcakes. Everyone loves my cupcakes.
@Ruth- Holy shit! That is toooo funny!! I can only imagine how that must have tasted. Brown sugar... I LOVE Brown sugar... in cookies :p Too funny, girl! Great share!
@Alittlesprite- I wish I had a man that would cook for me. I have never had a man cook for me once... well, ok maybe ONCE but I doubt Spaghettio's counts!!
You're a baker, huh? Any secrets?? I can never seem to bake from scratch. I would love to be able to make a cake and icing NOT out of a box!
HMM.. I don't know.. I'm one of those people like your Mum, I just throw ingredients in and somehow it turns out...
If I do follow a recepie I usually change it to suit what I like.
Sometimes I search the internet for the recepie I want, gather two or three and pick the best ingerdients out of the bunch.
You are lucky you can do that! And what a great idea! I think I'm going to do that next time; search the internet and take the best of the bunch and put them together. Awesome, thanks!
