Alive and cooking...

Things have been a little hectic here. We got food poisoning and that was a miserable, soul-wrenching experience I do not care to ever repeat. It took us a week or so to get back to the point we felt like eating anything other than pretzels and toasted white bread. Cooking was simply not happening. Once we did start cooking again, though, I was searching for a new side dish to go with some steaks and ended up finding a great blog: I Cook Stuff. 

With step-by-step instructions for all kinds of recipes, including some that don't turn out as planned, it's organized and fun. We made the Crash Hot Potatoes and they are delicious. Kind of like Twice-Baked Potatoes, but far easier and much better. I want to try the Wrapped Meatloaf next.  

He updates the blog pretty regularly (not a slacker like me), so there's always something new. 

...and since the baby (almost toddler) is waking up, that's it for now...
