There are times I would like to make the effort of throwing dinner for friends or family and cook everything from scratch. But the labor of love just takes so long. In spite of all the inspiration from Rachael Ray, the 30-minute meal is actually more myth than fact.

So how do you get the cooked cod out of the ice block when its done and who wants to eat ice cold cod? Crazy if you ask me.

I swear I’m the LAST US Citizen to take Home-Ec.
I learned so much in that class. I talk about it all the time. People think what I do with running my company, cleaning my house, cooking and caring for a 3 year old is impossible.
I learned it in middle school for god’s sake.
In home ec in 7th grade the first thing we made was butterscotch pudding w/ toffee bits sprinkled on top. I thought I had died & gone to heaven!
The next week we made Waldorf salad. Gag!
