I’m so glad they enjoyed it!! It’s kind of nice being known for your cooking or baking skills, isn’t it? I keep trying to encourage friends and family that if you’re not in a hurry, it can be a lot of fun, and good for you!
Tonight was cards night with my neighborhood ladies. I don’t ever do this, but my herbs need to be harvested, so I brought a smattering of the different ones I had, plus some tarragon and mint to make that rotisserie chicken salad with. Some women tell me they’re not good in the kitchen, but I told them this was an easy recipe if you have the ingredients, which other than the herbs, I’m sure they do. So I insisted that they each take some home, and that their husbands will be impressed with the change. I gave everyone a copy of the recipe, too.
Ever since I started cooking with fresh herbs, I’ve just fallen in love with it. It’s just like with homegrown veggies and fruit. It always tastes better than what you can get at the store. I hope I start making a few converts.
Their birthday is in October so we told them to come back for a birthday party. His favorite is carrot cake (he brought a small one from Wegmans) & I have a great carrot cake recipe from Marian Morash (of Victory Garden fame) that I can make. Now I need to find another humdinger casserole to make for that visit as well. He also loved the cinnamon apples & I will probably repeat them as a side dish for him.
