See ya later August 2010......
Welcome to my blog, please remember I am a newbie at blogging, bare with me as we start this adventure together.....I am so glad to see August come to an end. August is always a crazy month in my house, getting all the crap that my daughter needs to start school - talk about a major cost - don't even get me started on the school fees - if you found yourself writing check after check to your child's school this August - you feel my pain....in my wallet. (actually my hubby's wallet..lol)
Let me start with a little background info - I am not one of those gal's who was taught to cook by her mother - oh heck no...my mom made a total of fives dishes that I can remember (actually I try to forget) - she made Ham loaf - I think she bought it (gross). She was also known for her oven baked dried shoe leather chichen breasts, in addition to her 15 min chilli that stayed with you well into the next day...lol. My mom's pride & joy was a devils food choc. cake with white fluffy frosting - which happen to be my brothers favorite. So nothing was passed down. LOL Sorry Mom - xo
Funny true story - I am sure most of you read Seventeen Magazine when you were a teen......there was always a recipe section with some wonderful easy recipe for teens to try. HA! This certain issue gave step by step directions to make cream puffs....I am thinking YUM!!! So I worked my butt off in the hot kitchen to create a platter full of beautiful cream puffs for my family. I was so proud! This took me well into the night & everyone had gone to bed - I was so proud of my creation I decided to carry my platter of freshly made cream puffs up the stairs to my parents room, woke my brothers and requested they all come downstairs for a midnight snack............on my way down the steps, I caught my toe on the carpet and my platter of cream puffs went flying. To this day I can see my beautiful cream puffs laying smashed on the carpet. Needless to say - my brother (who I adore but am not sure why) says "Lisa, how about making me some cream puffs". Again...why is it that I love him???? lol
When I was about 22 yrs old I decided it was time to hone my cooking skills (actually - I was broke & needed a j-o-b) so I started working in the dietary department of a nursing home where I was lucky enough to be surrounded by great cooks. They told me they were great & looked pretty hot in an apron..lol I learned many tricks of the trade - made my very first pie crust there- YEAH for me ( pretty sure I took pictures). Worked there for 10 years - what an education.
Then life as I knew it changed - in a BIG way.............
