Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight

Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.

Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!

The 35-year-old woman gave birth to her first child in 2001 and her second child in 2003. But the, a year later, she had twins. In 2007, three years after the twins arrived, Catherine had triplets. “It’s been absolutely shocking,” she says of her maternal record. Catherine, who owns a maid service, and her husband Juan, a maintenance worker, are over the shock now. “we are just thrilled about having three more children.”

Taken from Coffee News – “News to be enjoyed over Coffee”

I discovered that there is a restaurant that I really love is close by to where my sister moved last year.  I haven’t eaten there in over eight years, so last time I visited my sister, I stopped in an enjoyed a fabulous meal, that is where I picked up the copy of Coffee News that I have quoted lately.  It is a small flyer with advertising and interesting tid-bits that is fun to read anytime.

My man, Gordon Ramsay

I don’t get much time to watch the T.V. but when I do get the opportunity I try and watch any show with Chef Gordon Ramsay in it.  He is a British chef that has a few shows on the BBC network that I really enjoy watching. 

May 2004 saw Gordon Ramsay star in the series Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, a series of four one-hour programmes. The program was launched at the same time with Gordon’s recipe book Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Heaven which is on my wish list, along with Gordon’s autobiography, Humble Pie.  Shortly after, Gordon was given two weeks to direct a group of celebrities towards Michelin standard cooking in the ITV series Hell’s Kitchen.

2005 confirmed Gordon as one of the UK’s major television talents. A second series of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares was followed by the very successful US version of Hell’s Kitchen for Fox TV. November brought the debut The F-Word, a high-octane food show with cooking, and celebrity guests. All the action was set against the backdrop of a full working kitchen and over the course of the show Gordon and his brigade prepared a three-course menu for diners.

My sister was really impressed with a T.V. celebrity chef years ago, which I could remember that old farts name, sometimes when  I watch Chef Ramsay I think of my sister’s fascination with her favorite chef and it makes me smile because I have my own chef now, and he does fascinate me.  If you get a chance – check him out!

Making plans for Friday “Date Night”

Am hoping that this Friday evening hubby and I will go out to dine at the new Red Lobster here in our neighborhood.  For Christmas my sister sent us gift cards for Red Lobster and I have been anxious to use them but we haven’t gone out for a “Date Night” since the holidays.  I love that restaurant, great seafood that is affordable and there is no need to get too dressed up for the meal.  Now I just need to figure out what movie is out that we both will enjoy, that can be the challenge.  Hubby will eat anything, anytime, anywhere, but picking a movie that makes us both happy isn’t always easy.  I’m sure there is something out there that I can find that will please us both.
