Yes I can cook. My husband's birthday was today. Last week I went to the Farmer's Market with my sister and mom and bought tons of great veggies. My sis is a super cook and so is my husband. Me? Not so much. But I got my sister's recipe for eggplant parmesan and sauteed green beans and voila' ... I can cook.
Everything turned out great. I found it to be labor intensive. My sister said it relaxes her. TV relaxes me. The computer relaxes me. Reading relaxes me. Not cooking. But I can cook.
So all in all it was a nice day. Our birthdays are 4 days apart. We celebrate our birthdays by allowing the other to do all the work that day. So I was busy buying the cake, card and candles and running a few other errands besides. Cleaning the house a bit. Only a bit. Then finally, I'm relaxing. It's almost 11 pm. Long day.
So now that I have proven once more that I can cook I'm willing to do it again next year.
