cooking is for chumps

tonight i am attempting to make dinner for my bf. for the past 9 months he has been making me wonderful pastas and salads, and i have been bringing him flowers and wine. time to switch it up!

i have the real simple cookbook, and i pray that it really is simple.

a couple of years ago, my friends and i started a "poker night" as an excuse to prepare meals together. after watery tropical coleslaw, an upside-down cheeseburger pizza, dough-y 'dough gods' and other fantastical mistakes, i am now the designated "drinks" girl.

however, i intend to rise above it, as i am positive i can make the halibut, potatoes, and green beans appear much like they do in the cookbook. getting the taste right, however, is quite another thing.

i must remind myself to pick up a bottle of very, very good wine.
