"independence is competence"

first on the goals' list is to learn how to cook

A very wise man once told me, "independence is competence". Thanks Doug!

Menu Casa Márquez

martedì (Tuesday):
Steak, funghi, squash, and mashed potatoes (real ones, not from a box!)

mercoledì (Wednesday):
Papas con huevos, cebolla verde, y jalapeños

giovedì (Thursday):
Pasta with chicken and funghi sauce!

All 3 of these dishes I have never actually cooked all by myself. I have seen a friend or my parents cook these so I'm pretty proud of myself. I am fortunate that Abe will eat just about anything in very large quantities. I still need to learn how to gauge a good quantity of food for both of us, since he left me with nothing Tuesday and Wednesday. So far no food poisoning...YES!

Please send suggestions of easy beginner dishes because creativity in the kitchen isn't my forte.
Lisa send me your Irish soda bread recipe!
