May 4th

Wow I am totally slackin on the updating department. Sorry! Really been busier than a 1 legged man at an ass kicking race. Anyhoo, May 4th was my cooking night and our special guest of the evening was Moose. This of course was my first time meeting the man, the legend, the ummm body part that I will not mention because this is a family oriented blog. Right... so moving on to the cooking.

It's been a while since I had the cooking night and was quite rusty on the grocery shopping.

For starter we had strawberry, tangerine salad with a citrus mustard dressing. Au contraire to Tony's belief I did not just use his salad dressing but actually created a dressing from olive oil, some mustard mix, vinegar, tangerine juice and black pepper to create my own original dressing. Side note, I went to Zion to get some of the grocery but skipped on getting the salad there even though it was 1.99 for 1lb of salad. I didn't want to get it there because I didn't think it was fresh and didn't want to sort through it for salad. Who do I think I am? Rich? So I ended up paying $2.99 at Food 4 less for a 8 oz bag of salad. Grocery shopping fail!



The second course was Lentil Soup - Fresh lentil , with celery and onion and chicken buillon for broth. It was quick and quite hearty.




The next course was pan fried salmon on a bed of greens.



To redeem myself I decided to make homemade ice-cream to keep the cost down. We had home made oreo cookies ice-cream. It was a treat and a science project rolled into one!





So moral of the story is no I am not rich enough to shop outside of Zion and yes Tony you can make ice-cream at home and I did this before for 7th grade class. =)
