Grand Food Ideas

If you spend an entire rainy weekend watching Food TV, as I did, you begin to get ideas. GRAND ideas. Ideas that you will make elaborate meals for your family, host terrific parties for friends at your fabulous abode, even run off, go to culinary school, and enter a contest where you're embarassed grandly on national tv for your poor creativity in making something edible for pfoofy full of themselves grade-C personalities.

As I told my husband "I'd so go to culinary school but you know - that whole, taking every minute of my time and earning no money and not allowing a social life thing really gets in the way."

So instead I made some homemade thin mints, popcorn in the cast iron skillet (mmm-mmm), steak au poivre, chicken saltimbocca, and other assorted suburban food goodies.

I am the captain of my suburban food domain.
