I don't cook often. When I do it's like grilled cheese or an easy pasta dish. If meat's involved it's a pretty good bet that a crock pot's involved, too. I'm not a good cook by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh, sure, I bake a lot, but that's just chemistry in action. It must be the scientist in me. I love knowing that if I measure precisely and follow the procedure, it'll turn out right. And, let's face it: anything with fat and sure is all sorts of awesome.
So, while I am an award-winning baker, my cooking is ... meh.
Which brings me to the Valentine's Day meal I've prepared for tomorrow. I've assembled the lasagne and apple crisp (two follow-the-procedure dishes) so they can just be thrown into the oven after work. I've got the accoutrements of garlic bread, ice cream, and salad waiting in the wings. We'll eat like kings! We'll eat like princes for the next two days! And then by Sunday we'll curse the Italian grandma that invented baked pasta! And that's assuming I haven't screwed anything up!

Yum! What time is dinner being served?
Actually Jimmy and I are spending Valentine's Day together - We're both at home sick right now:(
I love the new website Ken created for you! I usually forget to check your livejournal blog; but now that it's all in one place I'll be able to keep up with both.
I also like the links to purchase your books.
Happy Valentine's Day!
More later...
Dinner will be served at 5:30 sharp. Be dressed and ready. ;)
Sorry to hear you two are sick. The crud, it gets us every time.
Ken did a kick-ass job on the site, didn't he? I love it. It's a little girly but it's simple and functional and you can find what you're looking for easy. I feel so professional now.
