The challenge begins....

I have never blogged before but it is time for a new food challenge. I must document this one. The first year I got married I never cooked the same thing twice. It was something I wanted to do for my husband so he would never grow tired of my cooking. Needless to say that was not exactly how it unfolded. He ended up really liking some of my dishes but I could (okay would) not make them again. I was dedicated. Now as I hit my 2nd year (July 19th) I would like a new food challenge. A good friend of mine who shall remain nameless because she said she would not read my blog, decided that she would make a list of ingredients (almonds, mint, avocado) and then a number of times I must use that in a meal. Each meal will be different and I have to choose the best one and then remake it for a group of people. This was in fact an excellent idea. So my first action will be to making sure my kitchen is stocked with the necessities. What are the necessities? I can't afford a Kitchen Aid on my teacher salary. I don't really even have extra time to be doing this now that I think about it. But when a challenge arises, who am I to resist? So this is me, and the trial and error challenge.
