Cooking

You know....... I'm a halfway decent cook, when I put my mind to it. It's just that usually I have better things to do with my time.

But I went to the grocery store last weekend -- another rarity for me -- and so I had the ingredients needed. We had chicken cordon bleu for supper tonight. I had to look up a recipe on foodtv.com and used one by Tyler Florence.....with only a few substitutions. I think Tyler would still recognize the dish, but he may not want his name associated with my end product. It was pretty tasty and I have lunch for tomorrow. The whole project took over an hour of prep and cooking time. Ten minutes to eat. This seems out of balance to me. Is it any wonder I don't cook more often?

However if I spent more time cooking and less time eating, maybe I wouldn't be wondering about my mysteriously shrinking clothes. Rand and I would both be healthier too, if we stuck to the freshly made foods instead of relying upon fastfoods, cooked at home.

Oh well, maybe just a bowl of ice cream before bedtime to help me sleep.
