Kitchen Demo

Well, my kitchen remodel is underway! My wonderful husband is overseeing demo today and my understanding is that things are going well; I have yet to see as I'm at work! Anxious to get home though, wonder how many days I will be kitchenless?!

Julie/Julia Project

First of all...Happy New Year; I'm positive that 2010 is going to be a great year and much better than 2009!

I watched the movie "Julie and Julia" last night and felt the urge to create a challenge for myself. I'm not quite as ambitious as Julie Powell (365 days, 527 recipes), nope not me! And I've enlisted the occasional help of my Husband who is as much of a foodie as me, if not more so!

So, the challenge is to create a 5-course ethnic (Italian, French, Lebanese, etc.) meal for 4 or more people once a week. We will use a variety of sources for recipes, ideas, etc. Some will be for the two of us (leftovers), some will be family meals, some will be for dinner parties, and some will be shared (a la Tupperware) with lucky friends to share with whomever they like!

My camera is on the fritz right now but as available I will have lots of pics to accompany my blogs about these endeavors.

Maybe it doesn't sound like much of a challenge to you but remember that I have a full time job, 3 boys who play sports, and am in the process of starting a cake decorating business with my Mom; shoosh, sounds like my schedule is already full!

OK, so we are going to start ASAP; we're also embarking on a kitchen remodel SO we'll do our best (maybe some test recipes before the challenge?)!
