Apparently I don't learn from my mistakes. Remember when I set off my parent's smoke alarm and swore to never cook in someone else's kitchen again?
Yeah ... well ... here's the thing.
My mom requested Chicken Fried Chicken & Gravy for dinner tonight. She said she would provide everything if I made it. I was just so excited that someone requested my cooking that I completely forgot that I am apparently incapable of cooking in their kitchen.
So I made dinner.
And ... I ended up with a kitchen full of smoke AND a brand new burn on my right index finger. What's up with me and gravy?!
Totally worth it, though. I nailed the gravy this time! Perfect texture.
AND my mom always agrees to clean the kitchen if she doesn't have to cook. Amen.
In other news, I had a fabulous Wear a Dress Tuesday!
This dress came from our church thrift shop - can you believe it?! I love it. Such a bold and confident color.
Who else participated today? Anyone participate for the first time?
I was at church when I took this picture (I've hiked the mountain in the background!) - we are trying to finish up this welcome brochure. But when I came home I buried my head in my computer and worked on a freelance article about different ways to sneak vegetables into your family's diet. Check it out here!
Alright, I am trying to follow NCIS: LA and am so confused. Turning my attention back now - night all!

Ok...this was my best find tonight!! I saw "The Wife's Corner" on you hubby's fishing blog and thought that was a cute idea...then open this up and see that chicken!!! Ok...I'm following because I need to spend a little more time in the kitchen...haha.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken fried chicken looks delish! My husband wouldn't care if I burned the house down if it resulted in that, lol!
ReplyDelete@River Damsel - I'm glad you found me! Bruce has shown me your blog a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't feel bad about how much time you spend in the kitchen - I blog about food because I'm determined to figure out how to cook!
@Jenn - Ha! There are some days when my husband just appreciates the effort, but he said yesterday that I nailed the whole meal!
I participated in Wear a Dress Tuesday for the first time! I have been meaning to do it, but I always forget that it is Tuesday in my half-awake state when I get dressed. I didn't take a picture though. I don't have a good picture taking mirror.
ReplyDeleteLike Jessica, I also don't have a good picture-taking mirror. I did participate again, though. I actually just bought a new jean skirt on Monday and was eager to show it off. I LOVED my old jean skirt.... but it's now too big, as I've lost some weight. I can deal with its retirement for that reason. :) Plus, my new one's mid-calf instead of ankle length, and it's got a sassy swing.
