This one is for you Jeff, I know I left a cliff-hanger about how my new attempt at Swedish rye bread turned out. I think it turned out well as the entire loaf has now been eaten. I still have the second loaf in the outside refrigerator awaiting your return from California. It had a nice texture, although it still did not rise as high as I would have liked. This time I definitely cooked it long enough.
The same day I repeated my Swedish rye bread experiment, I became very brave and decided to make my boys' favorite Chinese food for dinner. The outcome was horrible. Of course Jeff liked my orange chicken, lo mein noodles and rice (he is always very supportive of my attempts to try new foods) but the boys did not like the end result because it tasted nothing like Panda Express.
This is my ongoing problem with dinner. The kids are tired of the same old thing, but they don't like anything new! I am slowly adding variety to my dinner menu, but I am impatient. Hits this week have been broccoli and cheese soup, and barbecued ribs (bone in) with mashed potatoes. Tonight it is chicken noodle soup as Michelle has been sick and will be able to keep it down.
I have found the best way for me to motivate myself to make a nice dinner is to begin in the morning. If I wait until the afternoon, which is my low point in the day, I have a hard time planning and following through with cooking.
Happy Cooking!
