It feels like it has been forever since I cooked a real meal. Well, old dude and little dude are sick, it is raining, and we ended up not going to church so I decided to cook. After all, I felt like I had to make up for Easter.
I fixed chicken fried steak from Paula Deen and what was supposed to be roasted broccoli and tomatos only I forgot to put the tomatos in. I am not sure what I did wrong with the CFS. The coating did not stick and the gravy was runny. I think the first was from using a nonstick pan. The only thing I can figure with the gravy staying runny is I didn't have enough flour even though I followed the recipe exactly. Oh well, it wasnt pretty but it tasted fantastic. The roasted broccoli was also good. It also had garlic, shallots and olive oil in it so it was really healthy. I was proud of chickie. She did try it, even put some (more like a lot) cheese on top but still didn't like it. Her and Bush now have something in common. Neither like broccoli.
No one understands what a stress reliever cooking is for me. I absolutely LOVE getting in the kitchen and playing with new (or not so new) recipes. It is one of the things that I miss the most about being in school full time. I simply do not have the time to do it. I was having a hard time concentrating earlier today on school work. I feel like now I may be able to tackle some of it tonight. At least get some more reading done.
