Food Glorious Food

Yesterday, K decided to make dinner for us -- what a wonderful and thoughtful thing to do! She has been perusing some of my cookbooks the past few weeks and marking off the ones she'd like to try. K is not a person to start out something in a small way -- she has jumped into the cooking and baking mode lately and will only bake from scratch! She totally takes after me. (not!)

I used to buy cookbooks that had titles like "How to make it look like you spent all day in the kitchen but you only spent 30 minutes." At least, I started out that way. I did get better and when I have the time, I do love to cook!

So yesterday's meal was a pepperoni pasta bake and homemade bread. Yum!!

The bread actually started out as yeast biscuits but the wrong kind of flour was in my cupboard and she used self-rising vs. regular flour. The dough never rose like it was supposed to. Plus we didn't have a rolling pin or a biscuit cutter, so we took the unrisen dough and threw it into a loaf pan and stuck it in the oven hoping for something to happen. And it did -- a wonderful, dense loaf of homemade bread that was absolutely delicious!

An ice-cream dessert followed this wonderful meal a couple of hours later. She had made it earlier in the day. We were so excited to cut into it and eat it -- that I forgot to take a photo.

K can cook for us anytime!!
