Its quite sickening, really, how much cooking I've been doing since getting my new kitchen "toy". Well, not sickening per se, unless you consider that it was 83 degrees here yesterday, we don't yet have our air conditioners installed, and I decided to whip up a new recipe for dinner that required baking something for 40 minutes at 400 degrees. Man, this place was SWELTERING but
DAMN! that chicken-and-asparagus-in-mushroom-creme-sauce was DELICIOUS! As I type, I await the completion of an oven-baked apple-cinnamon french toast. (Insert drooling emoticon here.)
Maybe its that I feel the need to justify this purchase with elaborate and exotic culinary delights... or that I've been craving some good food lately after a few weeks with more than usual restaurant meals. Either way, unlike Applebee's patrons, my family really IS "Eating good in the neighborhood."
