I decided to fix dinner for our family today and thanks to Kathy, Chris and my supervision, we did it! I am exhausted and realize for the first time since my stroke that I simply can't cook without help. What a blow.
With all three of us working busily, it still took three hours to assemble this meal and get it in the oven. We did double the recipe so we can have a second meal at a later time. The most remarkable thing about it though, was that too many cooks did not "spoil the broth" as the saying goes.
I suppose I will try to help more with cooking dinner, as long as long-suffering Chris will help me with it. Cooking was never my forte, but I love to try out new recipes. Hopefully, everyone will like this one, because we have another complete meal in the freezer.
Back in the "What's for dinner?" days, I made a meat loaf one evening, and while it was okay, it tasted a little funny. Ed said, "Did you do something different with the meat loaf"? Much to my chagrin, it turned out that what I thought was groumd beef was ground pork sausage. And that was just one of my more unevenful meals. On second thought, maybe I won't cook any more meals.

Mom, I'm sorry I won't be there to eat your delicious meal. Can I take some to work for lunch tomorrow??? Please?
BTW, I LOVE your blogs. This is the first time I've gone to it.
I will say this for your cooking, when I was in college the chef who was kind of famous for some reason overheard me telling someone that my moms roast beef and gravy was much better then the roast beef we were served and his response was I,m preparing a meal for 145 people who all want it to taste like what there moms made.
Actually, anything you made besides brussell sprouts was just fine by me. ( and maybe cabbage and collaflower . ) U get the picture. What good is spell check on this if it wont give me alternatives? Love ya.
Lol, so what did you make?! And you have to tell how it turned out - if it was good, share the recipe!
This is the best kep secret on the Web (or isn't it on the Web?)Now that I actually have the link, I will follow it. Nice work. Is it private, by the way?
Mom, this is fantastic! Thanks for sending us your link. Keep the stories coming! This is a great way for Michael to get to know that HIs family is not the only crazy family in exsistence!
