Hi there!

I am not a great cook - not even a good cook - in fact, average would be a stretch.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE food.  All kinds of food really but all food I eat has one thing in common - it was made by someone else.  I have tried to cook many times.  My favorite attempt is when I tried to make one of my husband's favorite dishes - chicken tetrazzini.  The recipe called for 1/4 cup of flour and I added 1 1/4 cups.  The sauce was a large ball of dough.  It was completely inedible.  

Despite these failed attempts, I do want to cook.  Food (cooked the right way) is beautiful and being a good cook is charming. I long to be the woman who brings the best dish to the party, the baked goods that are known throughout the town, and the host of a great dinner party without having to hide take-out containers. So, that leads me to this blog.  My attempt at learning the art of cooking and chronicling my progress along the way.  Here it goes - wish me luck!
