I’m a Pretty Capable Cook

This past week, it’s been my job to keep house while my mother recovers from surgery. Even though my cooking skills are nowhere near as superb as my mother’s, I am definitely a pretty capable cook. Here’s a sampling of this past week’s menu a la Manda (with all the savory dishes served with a side of pasta or rice):
- Spaghetti bolognaise
- Garlic lime chicken
- Broccoli stir fry
- Lemon pepper salmon
- Thai green curry
- Variations of eggs and toast (comfort food!)
- Caramel apple upside down cake
- Chocolate chip cookies
I’ve been unusually behind the ball when it comes to taking photos of my culinary creations, so you’ll just have to take my word that the food served in my kitchen this week has been incredibly delicious! I do, however, have my most ambitious dish yet on the menu for tomorrow, so keep your eyes peeled for the documentation in the coming week. If anyone can guess what it is, I’ll send you some ;D

Oh, yummy! Those all sounds absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the most complicated thing I can make is scrambled eggs. It’s really awesome that you’re able to cook. And its’ really nice of you to be taking care of the house while your mother is recovering.

Oh, I’m so envious >.< I can't cook to save my life! Garlic lime chicken sounds really tasty.
And now I'm hungry…

[...] When I said that I would be making my most ambitious dish yet this week, I lied. Not intentionally, but it was a lie all the same. [...]
