Self praise
Well for all those looking for something adult in nature, just pass this one on. This post is entirely for my own reward and self praise.

Since my surgery at the end of July, other than the first week I laid in bed because I had too, I have tried very hard to fend for myself. Trust me those around me are Not caretakers and dont even pretend to be. Truthfully I have tried hard not to be a burden on anyone. That being said I have also probably done far too much and possibly even slowed down my healing process.

Back when I was 10 years old, I managed to teach myself to make one pot wonders and feed three teens for a year because mom had broken her foot twice in one year preventing her from taking care of us. I managed okay but never felt I could really cook.

In my down time I once more out of necessity picked up the torch and got in the kitchen. I had mastered my own spaghetti sauce that the family has bragged about for some time now. I even admitted I was a one hit wonder. Well I still cook that mean spaghetti but you can eat that every day!

Steadily I have progressed to more difficult challenges. Most would probably say otherwise as I try to stick to simple easy meals that I can do in less than two hours. For a person that is NOT a cook or chef and can seem never to follow a recipe without modifying it I am very proud of what I have accomplished!

I still face challenges mostly with seasoning. I have that 12 years old that refuses to eat pretty much anything. Ive even managed to cook where he will eat much of what I fix. I have even stepped away from the one pot wonders and taken to both oven and stovetop meals. I have posted some photos of our tonights supper that came out as one of my best tasting meals yet!

For many of you this has no interest but I dont care. I have even amazed my wifes mom with my skills in the kitchen. Since my wifes sister passed away one week exactly after my surgery, I have been doing the cooking for two households. Quite well I might add and have spoiled quite a few people. My wife I think will regret my going back to work as all the extra work I do around here wont be getting done. In the meantime, I will take what I have taught myself and keep trying to improve upon my skills. Too bad you cant taste just how damn good the food in these photos taste. I really did an amazing job for a guy that isnt a cook!

Have fun all. Until next time...

    L love a man that can cook.
    Well done, looks good enough to eat.

I wish you could send taste through a photograph. This was SO Good last night for dinner. Everything tasted perfect. The chicken was extremely tender and just pulled apart and juicy throughout. Two different green beans because my son won't eat the ones with the stuff all over it. LOL
