My cookbook has gone MIA after a weekend visit to Aunt E.'s house. You may wonder what my family ate all week - is it okay for me to cook something not in the cookbook?
Don't worry last night we made tacos and taco salad for dinner. Once my cookbook made its way home and we had our teary reunion, I discovered the taco salad recipe I used was actually in the cookbook, only instead of taco seasoning which I used, it called for fajita seasoning. Not sure what the real difference is between the two but I will definitely be making the taco salad again, as all three of my kids gobbled up the taco salad including the vegetables. Next time I will use the fajita seasoning and try to sneak in more veggies underneath the meat!
When preparing dinner last night, D. (8yro) asked me if there was any brisket left over from friday night. That was the beer braised brisket that was polished off by his friend. hmmm- are you sure the alcohol evaporates out of the meat when cooked? I am not convinced.
Now that I have begun making headway on my project, I am going to begin keeping a tally of how many recipes I have completed towards my goal. The intro to the book says a total of 200 recipes.
15 done. 185 to go.
200 recipes?! That is a lot! How much time are giving yourself to meet the goal?
ReplyDeleteI have had Mexican food once since I started keeping kosher at a restaurant in Queens called Carlos and Gabby's. I suppose I could always make a Mexican dish...
I am going to aim for 1 year to finish - but its more about completing it and not so much about how long it takes.
