Cooking Fetish

I should probably stop now.

I have been on this cooking kick recently, it is kind of fun. The more exciting part about it is that I'm not the only one. My house, we've been getting pretty crafty lately. We try to do a family dinner at least once a week. It is quite fun. But it is a great way to just hang out, catch up and just be with each other for a bit.

A few weeks ago was beautiful. In all ways. It was the perfect beach day, Hannah, Beth's sister was in town. We went to the beach for many many hours, showered and made dinner. About six of us showed up. We made pasta, barbeque chicken pizza (not the store bought kind), salad and brownies for dessert. Later on, people came in and out and we just played goofy games for hours.

The next week, Jessi, Saylors, and I decided to make Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloins (we did the mimic version from Outback Steakhouse) and broccoli. Fruity Sangria included. Yum.

This week, I just kicked back and watched. Sam Scott came to visit. Tiff joined too. But the menu was Sweet and Sour Chicken, vegetables and rice. Jessi managed this one. That's right, I said Jessi. My roommate's idea of cooking is pizza bagel bites and a dr. pepper. I'm proud of her, she has been cooking so much lately. She even makes me dinner, she baked chicken the other day.

Back from my tangent, we are getting more and more creative with our food. But also random impulses keep happening as well.

For instance, I had just gone to Grower's direct to buy my fruits and vegetables. I got lots of good stuff, blueberries, tomatoes, coconut, butternut squash, celery, avocados (staple food), and strawberries. This was the result:

PS. It is delicious. Toast is the greatest invention made right now.

Any suggestions for new foods to make?
