Now my goal is to get my kitchen back into the mode of being able to cook meals. For the last 15 years I rarely did much cooking because Russ was only home a few days a week (and, on those days, we were running all over the countryside doing the errand thing, so it was just easier to eat out). I COULD cook, but I was lacking a lot of spices and staples that I should really have, so I have spent the last few days working out a month of menus (which I used to do all the time), going through cabinets figuring out what I was missing, etc. My grocery list is insanely long - and scribbled on several sheets of paper stacked here in front of me (I know there are duplicate items from list-to-list), which I need to get transferred to the spreadsheet on my computer that I print out and take with me to the store. BUT, once I get these staples back in the house, things will be easier when it comes to cooking. I am actually looking forward to spending time in the kitchen cooking (I love to cook, actually), as Russ has been better about helping me out (or just hanging out, which makes it more fun)... and my first project will be making homemade hot pockets (Russ likes the store-bought ones, which I dont, and at least I will know what is going in these.) - and I have been thinking of cool combinations for them. Chicken and pesto? BBQ? Pepperoni Pizza? Meatball? Roast Beef and Swiss? Ham and Cheddar? Yum! :-) (If anyone has any ideas for a good hot pocket combination, let me know!)
