A Spectrum

I wish I knew how to cook. I won't even tell you the two meals I had today, but they were both of my husbands choosing (mostly) and if you know my husband you know how he eats and what he likes. However, last night we went to a barbecue at a friend's house and whenever we go there it just proves how completely inept I am. The food was excellent and all really healthy. We had carrot sticks, celery, and cucumber slices to munch on while they were grilling. Then, they grilled asparagus, these huge portabello mushrooms, onions, scallops, zucchini, etc. Then for dessert fresh pineapple and papaya. My first experience with papaya, very interesting texture. The time before that they made this spicy grilled pork stuff that tasted really good, but was way too spicy for me to eat too much. (They found out later that the recipe called for 4 chilies and they put in 4 CANS of chilies, I am surprised I was able to eat the little I did, Wow). When I do try to cook something, I am very anal about following the recipe exactly which results in either Trisha making fun of me or Tom complaining that I put something in it that he didn't like. Anyway, bad cooker, out.
