All you Need is Love

The added bonus is when the person you love is an awesome cook. My friends and I have been eating so well recently because the hubs has been flexing his chef muscles and making us some amazing meals. We have a copy of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" that is his new bible, and I cannot complain. Not to mention, we have a slew of new cookware that makes the whole process a lot easier and more enjoyable than before. Our tiny kitchen is no long an obstacle, but a place where magic happens.

Last night we have the classic Julia Child meal of beef bourguignon. It took the hubs hours to prep it Wednesday night and it was absolutely delicious. Lucky for us, we have awesome friends willing to come share it with us, and watch Jeopardy, and reminisce about TV shows of our childhood. Do friends get better than that?

I've never been a very good cook, I do it because I have to. I am not horrible though, and I have definitely mastered the simple things, like meatball subs, fried eggs, and pasta dishes. But having someone at home who actually LOVES cooking, and just understands what herbs and spices would make a dish without reading in a recipe may be the best thing ever. I am so lucky, however, now even more lazy in the kitchen than I was before.
