Homecooking Mama
Well, my homecooked meals have been a huge success lately. I've been collaborating with Kathy (the neighbor whose charitable dinner invitations have been the only thing staving off rickets and scurvy in our household.) Modeling her experience and know-how, I made a pork tenderloin and potatoes au gratin ALMOST as good as hers (but I don't aspire to any better than that.) Last night I cooked, as per her suggestion, homemade fried chicken tenders, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes with homestyle white gravy. Yum. Even Michelle sat at the table and ate--and for longer than 5 minutes, too! Today, I'm trying my hand at a pot roast with all the veges. My hands are slowly evolving into oven mits and I know I'm going to develop some chronic lung disease related to flour inhalation some day, but it'll all be worth it.
