I CAN cook!!
I made dinner for my friend Nancy lastnight and it came out great!! I CAN cook after all! I've always frowned on my own cooking ability, because honestly I'm really not that good - and don't pride myself in it (except occasionally when it works out) nor do I take much pleasure in it, which is sorta a key ingredient for any cooking lover. But lastnight, I actually did everything totally perfect!! All the food was done at the same time and it tasted DELICIOUS. Yay for me!

The meal: Long grain rice, salad with veggies (with yummy Papaya Dressing that my friend Michelle brought me from Hawaii!) and a delicious "Roast Salmon with Tomatoes and Tarragon".

I know it sounds easy - and it is, thank goodness cuz that's just the level I need :) That salmon recipe is a no-fail delicious meal and quite impressive to serve :p hahaa Listen to me!

note: we originally got this recipe from my mom years ago, who found it in Cooking Light. But I can't link to their site for it, cuz they make you log-in. Cooking Light is a great mag!

My whole kitchen is covered with Nancy's artwork. She's an amazing artist. We met working at Care2 together about 4 years ago.
