I had one very successful dinner I cooked for Paige and Nick. I made yogurt chicken, sweet potatoes, broccoli with a lemon garlic sauce, and Mitch's favorite tortilla bread things. I wish I had taken pictures as evidence, but I forgot. I was so proud of myself for not burning the house down. I really don't like cooking, I'm not very good at planning and timing things right. I had a nervous breakdown in the middle of preparing it, but recovered with Mitch's encouragement. I hadn't planned on it taking so long to get ready, so I wasn't going to be able to pick up the apartment before our guests arrived, but Mitch saved the day. He cleaned up everything and even vacuumed! I was so thankful..and I had dinner on the table as soon as they got there! It actually was good, it's hard for me to even be able to make some of Mimi's recipes taste bad.
But, I didn't make a large meal the next night. Actually, we just had breakfast for dinner. That's what I'm best at. I can make some really ugly, but tasty pancakes. :)
And I did take pictures of that.
I've almost gotten Mitch's eggs over easy perfected. I was always a scrammbled egg girl, sunny side up has been quite a challenge. And no matter what I do, I make a huge mess and am awful about leaving the oven on. Thank the Lord for Mitch. He always comes behind me to check things out.
do you cover the pan with a lid while his eggs are cooking? if you do that there is no need to flip them and the cook both sides just right.
