Has No Life - Lives on TB
I like to cook and think I'm pretty darned good at it. Much of this is due to my New Orleans heritage. This was, in part, a secret of my dating success back in the day. I'd invite a woman over to my place for dinner - you could see the apprehension in her eyes - and absolutely blow her away with a culinary masterpiece :-) Understand that they're looking at a dude in jeans, a black t-shirt and a cutoff, on a Harley.
"You, er, are going to cook us dinner???" was the frequent, initial response. LOL I just knew they had visions of charcoaled steaks and open cans of green beans! It was great fun to turn their little world around at the dinner table... and later.
Well, I'm an old guy with a gut these days, but I still try to maintain the kitchen skills. Momma does the routine, day to day cooking, but I still sometimes whip up something really special.
Tonight it was a thick, heavy, homemade broccoli-cheddar soup, which started with a homemade roux (using real butter and flour), brocolli, chicken stock and secret ingedients. It also included lots of heavy whipping cream and chedder, as well as parmesan cheese. Your cardiologist would not approve! DW gave it a 10 on her personal 1-10 scale. She's originally from Arkansas, so our tastes differ a bit. When I rate a ten from her, I know I hit her sweet spot!
I only posted this to make you guys hungry! LOL
