My cooking triumphs
Well...I did make an awesome carrot cake today. It took about 2 1/2 hours, but it came out awesome. Better than any restaurant carrot cake I have ever had. So, that was good.
My cooking tragedies
On my second date with the man who would become my husband, he asked for me to make chicken cordon bleu. I had never even seen it before, but I logged on and tried to find a well-rated recipe that was easy to follow. Even with my mom's help it just came out pasty and gross looking. I think something went wrong with the batter, but it came out....slimy. So much for showing off my cooking skills and wooing my one day husband! He ate it though and was trying very hard to be convincing when he said it was wonderful. Poor guy!
