It's amazing sometimes how the simplest gesture can trigger a whole lot of ambition.
Take me for example... I've never considered myself to be a "good" cook. I mean, I'm "OK", but I would never categorize myself with my Mom, Dad, (yes I said Dad, he is an excellent cook) any one of my aunts and of course neither one of my Grandmas. Somehow a link in this chain passed right over me.
I always tell myself I'm going to do better. Do I get credit for telling myself?
A simple gesture = A birthday gift from my favorite little sister.
Triggering ambition = A cute flirty apron and a new cookbook.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Italian Chicken and Vegetable Skewers
A mediocre Italian meal at best, but I'm still proud of myself. :)
(one day I'll add the pretty little garnishments to make my plate more attractive)
Due to time and mean$ I have decided I'll be able to put my new apron and cookbook to good use at least once a week. Well, let's be honest... I'll probably use the apron a lot more than that.
Thanks for inspiring me Rach. :)

I'm so glad you've put the apron and book to use. I think I need to throw my flirty apron on, as well, drive up to your house, and then we can cook all day...then stay up late and eat it all. I think that meal looks delicious. I should have known you'd head straight for the stuffed mushrooms! Love ya.
Wow! Looks impressive to me!
That looks amazing Nellie! I would never attempt anything like this, cute apron or no. I'm very impressed!
I love the new apron! You are a great cook give yourself a little credit. That dinner is a whole lot fancier than I could do. It looks yummy!
Wow, that IS a flirty apron...and my mouth started watering when I saw the pics...it's too bad the prep takes so long...even for 1 person! By the way...it was GREAT seeing you at the store!!
