Learning to Cook....Part 2

I don't know if this should actually be considered learning to cook so much as forgetting how to cook. I used to make fudge all the time but hadn't made it in some time. So for Christmas, Alex asked if I'd bring fudge. I didn't think it'd be that big of deal so I told him sure thing. Well apparently I had forgotten how to make it because when I tried it turned out horrible!!! It was super gross and the wrong consistency. So i tried again...and again... and again.. Finally after the fourth try, I asked my mom what I was doing wrong. Turns out that when the recipe calls for a can of milk it wants evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed...oops. So on the fifth try it finally worked- Easy as Pie! I don't know if I'm getting better with practice when it comes to cooking but luckily Phil doesn't mind me making a mess of the kitchen in order to try making things I manage to burn or cook wrong. Thanks babe!!

Putting up the Tree

We had lots of fun decorating the tree. Phil originally wanted to wait til after Thanksgiving but I got too excited! We're both pretty excited for Christmas though!

Learning to Cook...

Ok so not everything can be made just by following a recipe. Last night I decided to try making Buffalo Wings. I found a recipe online and got all the stuff to make it. It looked like it would take about a hour, so an hour before Phil got off work I started. Turns out I missed the part of the recipe that said to refrigerate for an hour. Oops. So I informed Phil that dinner would be late, which of course he was super sweet about. So after refrigerating for an hour and then cooking for 45 minutes (by now its like 10:30) I took the chicken out of the oven and we sat down to eat. Phil grabbed one only to find they were still totally uncooked in the middle. So basically we put them back in the oven and had a wonderful dinner made up of a Wendy's salad and kids meal. I have a feeling this isn't the last time this is going to happen... But it made for an interesting night.
