Hello!
So the plans are in the works. Palm desert is the destination. 3 1/2 weeks is the time. And trust me I'm counting. Jono and I are spending the week hopping from one room to another with his family at their timeshare. It's going to be a blast. Jono and I are going to cook dinner for everyone at least one night. That's 10 people. 10 people used to good food. His other mother is an amazing cook and I am in constant awe of what she can whip up on a work night. And it's all so good. So like I always get before I cook for people I am worrying. Jono is not. At all. How he can have such faith in my cooking when he sees all the mistakes at home I really don't know. He has seen me throw out dish after dish that I'm managed to completely mangle. But he says it will be fine. He wants to make pies. Pies that we made on a whim to use up extra pastry tart shells I had. Pies made up of what I could get my hands on in our fridge. Now they were good but not perfect. Not up to the standards of the family. At least I don't think so. So this next weeks will be filled with the making of pies. Lots of pies. I have been looking up dough recipes, and worrying over filling. Jono said we can do them just the same but I think I can make something better. I will be experimenting. It will also be my first real foray into cooking without a recipe in mind. I have changed recipes while I cook them but I have never gone completely off on my own. I am also going to make a bunch of desserts ahead of time as a peace offering if this whole dinner thing is a bust. Sugar cures all ill will. right?
I will keep you all updated on the progress of the hunt but it may be a bit scary. I will post my failures as well as any success I have.
wish me luck!
