We're making more progress in the cooking department. Mel made fondue (though he's already pretty darn good at that) early in the week, then we celebrated America Day with burgers (turkey for me, beef for Mel) and mashed potatoes, whipped wonderfully smooth with our new stand mixer (thanks Kim and Jim!).
I'm loving "How to Cook Everything" (thanks B and Phil!). We haven't even tried an actual recipe yet - I've just been reading through it like a novel. I can't recommend this book enough and I can't call it a cook book either really, because it's much more than that! So far I've learned quite a lot about selecting produce while shopping, general cooking techniques that I'd been getting pretty wrong, and even using our new cutlery correctly. It's amazing what a difference good knives make (thanks Kim and Peter!).
Well, that's all for now! Expect to see more pictures of food as my obsession here continues... :)
