Failure

I tried today...tried something new...

Now it tasted really good to me. I enjoyed the seasonings and how it all tasted, but well the problem came up when I noticed my bf playing with his food...something he NEVER does...my heart just dropped and I felt this lump in my throat....I couldn't swallow my food. So I asked him..since he wasn't going to say it.."You don't like it..do you?" He continued to look down moving his fork around the plate...and he shook his head very slowly.."No".

Now I had to call my homegirl, who is married by the way, if something like this has ever happened to her because I was simply devastated! I just wanted to cry and everything..I'm emotional. Well she told me that this same thing happened to her but WORSE! Her husband throw her food away, went in the kitchen, made himself a sandwich and went in the living room! I was like WOW..at least my bf tried to eat it... as much of it as he could.

I just have to try harder.....I asked him what about it he didn't like but all he could tell me was that everything tasted...weird.

I just don't know what do it.....

UpDate

I know its been a long time since I've been on here. Well I haven't been knitting in a while nor reading any cooking recipes. But I have been creating some cooking recipes for myself. My boyfriend and I have been very creative these last few weeks and come up with some cute meals for ourselves. Stir-Fry is great because you can put ALMOST anything in it!! Yes nearly anything will work. I recently tried a spiral noodle, left over white rice, and left over broccoli. I throw it together and chopped up some chicken and cooked that on top of the stove. I added it all together and threw in some butter to give it some sauciness....and it was GREAT! It tasted a bit lacking but that was just because the noodles that I used really didn't have any favorite since they were Basel and green herb.

So try new things people and see what happens. Oh and I'm thinking about scrap booking!! But only time will tell! :)

Break the Mold

Mmmmm...the taste of mom's tender baked chicken!! I mean it just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth! Yet what was the rest of the meal...green beans, mash potatoes, or was it cabbage? I just don't remember the entire meal and that goes for ALL the meals I grow up eating back when I lived at home.

See my boyfriend and I cook for each other all the time and yes we've moved up from noddles and cereal on the weekends. We have cute little college meals of rice a roni, green beans, pork chops and maybe a roll. Yet most of the meals go in that order substituting green beans for a different vegetable and pork chops for a different meat.

Then that fateful day came when my boyfriend turned to me and said "Babe...is this how we're going to eat when we're married?" Alarms and sirens went off in my head!! I knew one day he would ask because I had been asking myself that same question for weeks! The answer of course was "No babe, of course not!" Yet I can't seem to get out of the routine of making meals such as that.

Now I'm on the hunt for recipes and different meals to create in the kitchen. I need things that are simple *when it comes to ingredients yet complex when it comes to presentation. I love a pretty plate... I found this website Food on Shine and one of the meals that stood out to me was the "Chicken Parmigiana" one. I love myself some chicken and I love preparing it as well. I'll try it out and see how it goes, but I'm still on the search of fresh recipes that my boyfriend and I will love.
