I don't do very well at making menues either, but try to have maybe one or two dishes in mind when I go to the groc. st.

I grew up with quick foods,frozen foods,and an occasional recipe. Many women dont like martha,maybe jealousy? She is so intelligent,and a good teacher. She can be a snob! But I use to watch her old show,and learn about different recipes,how to not over do stirring batters,and I felt confident to try something new. I'm not a bad cook,but dont get out recipes too often. I wish I was more motivated to plan menus and then go to the store and buy what I need to have interesting dinners. After work I'm not mentally ready for challenges.Maybe I should make it a goal for my day off to try a new recipe! Your blog is so interesting to read! I look forward to the Julia/Julie movie. Amy Adams is beginning to be one of my favorite actress's. Meryl is a gifted actress,the best in our country! I love the music! I think about the P/P movie! Have a good weekend!

We used to make it for the German Dinner at our Lutheran Church. The German and French cuisines are very similar, but I think the French have a lighter touch when it comes to pasteries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
