Guess its been a while. Can't say it's because I've been busy. More a feeing of having nothing to say. Not that I really have anything to say now....haha!
One exciting thing is I've been back to Alaska! And my husband finally got to see the glaciers and he also got to see brown bears. I really enjoyed all the time I have been lucky enough to spend there...
I've been enjoying my time in the kitchen more as well. It's not nearly as scary as I thought it was. And I've been very pleased with some of my results. Even my oldest son commented on how far I've come. It was a proud moment!
I work at a school so I have lots of time off. Last February I decided one of my goals for that week's vacation was to 'try a new recipe'. Challenge set. I hummed and hawed, rung my hands and dug in. I had a mission. I went with something simple, something that sounded good. And it worked, I was thrilled and excited to feel I'd just added to my rotation. So come April vacation, I knew I was going to try to add to my victory. Since then, I have tried several new recipes, some good, some not so good, a few I felt I cold work on to make more to my liking....but overall a very positive experience. I will say though, I have a secret weapon. A dear friend who is good at this stuff who is patient with me and answered all my silly questions. Thank you for your patients and support. He has helped me get over the fear, taught me to tweak a recipe to my preference, and especially to make notes of what I did! This past month, I think I have tried three new recipes 'just cuz'. How cool is that? i mean on a Tuesday....not a week to think and plan, just tonight!
April vacation is coming so I'm going to have to work hard to find something new. Or not. Maybe I will just make some of my new favorites. :-)
