My Husband, My brother in Christ
Recipes my children will never forget:
1. Split-Pea Waffles: A health-nut friend of mine gave me a recipe for waffles that included grinding dried split peas in a clean coffee bean grinder and adding this "bean powder" to the waffle batter. The waffles were green and weirdly crunchy with a veggie after-taste. No amount of syrup could save these waffles. MMMMmmmmm. (bleh)
2. Purple colored chicken. I used cranberries to make this and for some reason the chicken looked purple. Most of us ate it, but one of my sons would not touch it even when I said just close your eyes and taste it.
3. First time I made steak, it was more like chewing tough beef jerky. It took forever to eat dinner that night.
4. Then there was the soup that looked like vomit. It tasted good, but it was another recipe in which you had to close your eyes to enjoy it.
5. It was my first time to have my husband's family over for Thanksgiving, so I decided to do something different. Oh, how I wish I would have NOT! I wanted to make food that was served at the first Thanksgiving... sort of. They will never forget the deer meatballs. Lots of jokes with that one.
Thanks to the prayers of my sweet husband and children, I cook a whole lot better now, though I do regress occasionally. During such regressions, I rely on ramen or cereal. And if the house smells from cooking gone wrong, we just air it out and go out to eat.
