If it is any indication of my incredible talent in the world of culinary arts, I purchased a brand new stove in November of last year and didn’t unwrap the eight layers of super strength saran wrap until—well, mid-May. Even then, I only set the clock and I’m pretty sure all of the original paperwork is still—to this day—taped to the top rack of the oven. Sad? Yes, I know.
While I may have a few ‘Porktastic’ qualities, cooking sure isn’t one I will be winning an award for any time soon. And, while I’ve come to terms with that, the competitor in me just can’t settle for not at least attempting to excel.
Long story short, I am chronicling some of my adventures in the kitchen so all the Martha Stewart’s and Betty Crocker’s out there can feel better about themselves and their extraordinary abilities. Meanwhile, the rest of the real world can relate to my struggles and attempts at cooking. Check back for meal highlights, recipes and the occasional humor ingredient mixed in along the way… In the meantime, take a look at www.ohiopork.org and snag some great recipes from farm families that are busy taking care of their animals, children AND cooking fabulous meals. I could probably handle the pigs, perhaps even outwit the kids, but this cooking deal is a whole other story!
