Can't seem to lay off the sweets. I have gone to the gym twice this week and am planning either gym or skiing tomorrow, but I have not been able to stay away from the good stuff. Last night I drank beer and ate olives and pretzels. Today I bought some mixed candy. I also made scones for breakfast, which were out of this world.
Now I'm cooking a fairly healthy dinner. Starchy yet healthy, although considering the fact that the Greek style potatoes that are currently roasting in the oven caused my eyes to sting when I opened the oven to check on the food, we might be having this meal without potatoes. I have never cooked with mustard powder before and this recipe requires mustard powder. It had no scent in the jar but I suppose the strength of it comes out when it gets heated up, because the whole joint reeks of something similar to horseradish. My eyes are stinging now and I'm sitting in the livingroom and the oven is closed.
Fortunately the veggies are roasting in a separate dish so they should still be edible. We might just have the chicken and veggies only and chuck the potatoes, unfortunately. Domestic Goddess, my ass! I am no domestic goddess. However I do try. Tonight I am attempting pan fried chicken breast stuffed with fresh mozzarella and smoked turkey. We'll see. I'm not great at cooking meat. Those scones this morning were a complete success but give me a hunk of meat to cook and I tend to fail miserably. I made a moose stew the other night and even though the meat simmered for an hour and a half it was still tough and dry.
Let's hope this chicken thing I am trying tonight will at least be edible.

haha you preceeded me in calling you a domestic goddess again. :P
i really hope to have my own kitchen one day not too long from now. i really liked cooking when i was on my own in toront. so relaxing.
remember when we cooked the sourcream and ham pasta? i enjoyed it very much.
i'm being patient though. there are many things to do while i'm still living at home.
I remember cooking the sour cream and ham pasta, and how into it you were, like a student at the feet of the master.
The food actually turned out pretty good. The potatoes were good.
