I really enjoy spending time with my family. We are often in the kitchen cooking or eating. Last weekend we spent the day preparing for the Super Bowl.
My wife and I planned a whole menu right out of the Bon Appetit magazine. We needed some items for our menu, so my wife, her mom and our kids made a trip to the store. By the time she returned, there was a Guinness reduction sauce boiled over onto the stove, flour all over the kitchen counter, and a sink full of dishes.
I love to cook, and I think I'm pretty good at it, but I know that I'm better at making a mess in the kitchen! My lovely wife, Heather, puts up with it because I make excellent roasted chicken, amazing homemade pasta, and a mean brownie with Guinness beer as its star ingredient. Heather has told me that if the food wasn't so good, she would have kicked me out of the kitchen a long time ago!
I've always wanted to be able to cook really good. I think it's one of those things, if you can cook really good, the ladies love it. But the laides loving a guy that can cook is not my only reason of wanting to be able to cook, There are other reasons that I can not thank of right now. I guess it's just one of those trial and error things. It may taste good it may not.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to know what the recipe is for this brownie!!! I love to cook and try to make new things!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your wife thinks your delicious cooking is an even trade for the dirty dishes. I can't even remember what we had for the big game so it must have been pretty boring. I agree with Jess. If you would like to share recipes, please don't hesitate. :)
ReplyDeleteI read a lot of cookbooks, magazines, watch the Food Network and then go through a lot of trial and error trying the recipes out. I spent nine months as a stay-at-home dad so I had a lot of time to become good at cooking/baking.
ReplyDeleteNow for the Brownie recipe. I can't take any credit for the recipe, but I will tell you my daughter says they're "out of this world". I'm enclosing the link and I would love to hear what everyone thinks when they try them. http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2012/02/chocolate-stout-brownies
They may take some effort, but they are so worth it. I hope you enjoy.

My children have been cooks in restaurants all over Austin. They've given me a different perspective on food--I'm much more creative with spices now!
