Dinner time

Is anybody else as exhausted as I am? And it's only Thursday, ooh boy.

But wait. there's good news: Friday is only a few hours away!

Last night I had the sister missionaries over for dinner. Since we were away often during the last few weeks we hadn't had a chance to get to know the new missionaries. I really enjoy having them over. I became quite attached to two sisters that have since been transferred. They were awesome! We laughed, chatted about books, traveling, food and other such fun stuff. They were in our ward for so long that they knew their way around our apartment. The best part about feeding missionaries is that they make good guinea pigs. Let me explain. In our little household I feed two individuals who are thankful that I cook but they're not very experimental. Baby boy and husband's food choices are limited to pasta, rice and potatoes, not forgetting the bread. That is all they want to eat. While on the other hand I'm a cook in training (by choice) so I enjoy experimenting with different flavors and techniques. Often I hit a miss but sometimes it's pure magic. Even during the magical food moments it's hard to impress the guys in this home. And that is where the sister missionaries come in. So far they've been honest and have therefore helped me rework some dishes. Since I only have them over twice a month I need more experimental taste buds...

Let me know if you'd like to come over for dinner. And since changing to clean living, most of the ingredients will be homemade. Alright, I'm excited to hear from...anybody. 

Well now I'm hungry.

A note from a day later:

I thought long and hard about our home food situation and after watching Gordon Ramsay's Best Restaurants I realized that I will only feel successful as a cook once my family enjoys my food. So until then I will continue to work hard and create experimental dishes that they'll enjoy. That is all. Yes, my mind is all about food.
