Top five
Kitchen en fuego.
No, I didn't deal with our mildew-colored paint issue by taking a blowtorch to the walls.
Just cooked up a good dinner. A really good dinner. A top five all-time dinner.
I'm a decent cook, don't get me wrong. Took a while for me to be able to say that, but at least for our usual fare, we eat well.
But this meal...even Trey ate.
Oh, it was delicious, I tell you. And yet so simple.
Do yourself a favor and make this. Of course you don't have to grill. We are sans-meat thermometer, so I used the crock pot. Our mouths were watering all afternoon.
It was delicious. DEE-licious I tell you. Side it with some roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, and yeast rolls, and you'll have yourself a guaranteed top five.
Disclaimer: Dinner is not always so feel-good. In honor of a new entry in my top five greatest meals, here are the top five worst meals created by my hands.
Airborne Lasagna
A time-saving lasagna-from-a-box that ended up on our kitchen ceiling. Not out of anger, simply because of my clumsiness. What we were able to finally get on our plates tasted terrible.
Healthified Monte Cristos
There is a simple, valuable lesson here. Do NOT try to healthify food that tastes delicious because of its unhealthiess. Sometimes things need to be fried.
World's Blandest Pasta Alfredo
A meal prepared four our third anniversary, the first we had ever spent together, and eaten in folding chairs on the newly-poured concrete floor of the addition to our house. A bad recipe and a bad substitution - vegetable broth is not equivalent to chicken broth, FYI.
Accidentally-Cajun Stir Fry
Newly married inexperienced cook, deathly afraid of pink meat and cold food. Bet you didn't know you can cook all the orange out of carrots. And, bet you didn't know Cajun and Asian went together. Yeah, they don't.
The Bad Idea
Never, ever mix up cream of mushroom soup, uncooked broccoli, and cubed ham, spread it between crescent rolls, and bake. If you should do something so unfortunate, be sure to bake it all the way so the bottom layer of crescents is not all dough. And if you should happen to make both of those disastrous mistakes, be sure not to do it when you are cooking for a group of friends. Who arehungry wonderful enough to still eat it whilst suppressing their gag reflex.
