Have you seen the movie Julie & Julia? I just saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago and I am still thinking about how cute it was. I think it's more my admiration for people who cook and cook well.
David and I have been cooking a lot lately. Mostly because we have all these new kitchen gadgets/pans and want to know what it's like to make a meal with something that was not purchased in the 40's...and also because it saves money...
But now we are just enjoying the act of cooking. It is so fun to start with all the ingredients, put it all together and enjoy the result...So far we have been relatively safe with our cooking. We have used family recipes that we know are good and that we have a "help line" if we have a question.
So all this being said, we have decided to challenge ourselves for the month of May. We are going to try and not eat out the entire month of May. More of a mini version of Julie Powell's challenge where she cooked 524 recipes in 365 days.
We obviously have to work during the week so we will have to make lunches or eat leftovers but we are going to try and not eat out the entire month of May and try all sorts of new recipes.
I will try to blog about each dinner/meal we cook (I'll skip the turkey sandwiches for lunch)...
We will probably make old recipes, new recipes, borrowed recipes, and bought recipes...but we will cook our way through May.

Too fun! I loved the movie & Meryl was fabulous - as always! What's with the comment about using kitchen stuff from the '40's!
Those were from the '70's, thank you very much! :)
