Since Thursday I have cooked three major meals for Studly. That might be a record-setting accomplishment for me. We’ve had roast chicken and potatoes, steak with some healthy veggies, and French dip sandwiches. I even have his meal for tomorrow night planned.
What has happened to the carefree, happy-go-lucky member of the No-cook Cathedral of the Coast? I guess I’ve been converted, baptized into the House of the Holy Homemaker.
I have had help from friends all over the country, indeed, from all over the world! Recipe suggestions, cooking tips, do’s and dont’s have been so welcome. I guess I’m not as alone as I imagined. Thank you friends!
Studly has raised an eyebrow at the amount of money I’ve spent on various cooking gadgets and ingredients. I told him the initial outlay would pay off in the long run.
I bought a new, larger crockpot, a tenderizing hammer, a new hand mixer (my old one was a wedding gift in ’76, and somewhere along the way I lost one of the beaters), a new grater, a new paring knife, and a new Calphalon saucepan to match the cookware we bought when we moved to Tallahassee.
My poor old mixer. Goodbye old chum.
I’ve spent quite a bit on spices, too. And I’m making an effort to cook healthy. Continue to send good thoughts and recipes. I hope this is a journey and not just a phase.
Peace, People.
Praying for Eyebrowz 
Here is hoping Studly is appreciating your spending and cooking efforts..

He is, so far. Let’s hope the novelty doesn’t wear off too soon!

Ya know, they have said (I never have figured out who “they” are) even if you make something not so healthy it is still better for you than eating out. You don’t need so much salt, preservatives, etc. to cook in your own home. We are proud of you!
