Cooking sucks ass.

Let's just get this out there. I don't like cooking. I hate it. I think if I liked it, I could practice more, and then maybe I could get a little better. But I hate it, and consequently the results of my culinary attempts are seldom edible.

When I make fajitas with store-bought seasoning, I do okay:
fajitas again
This is Zach's "I'm really nervous about eating this" smile.

But then I get drunk with power, and think that I can really cook and I try something new:
dinner 2
Be grateful in your prayers tonight that you only had to look at a picture of this dinner and not have to touch it with your taste buds. Zach scarfs down his food, and this meal is the one time I've seen him push his food around on his plate to make it look like most of it was gone.

We do much better when we go out to eat. Especially if our drinks come in mugs that we can hold in a really obnoxious way the whole night:

Lol, I love the pictures and commentary. By the way, when did you start drinking sparkling water? I don't even know you anymore.

So sweet Zach! See Erica, you are a natural. I want my header to be cute. So do what you will.

I second the 'cooking sucks' motion. I refuse. Unless it comes out of a can, box or something else simple, it's probably going to just sit in the fridge and go bad.

I love club soda with some fresh lime! It's delicious and refreshing Malia. Don't be foolish.

I just want to know are those the plates and glasses I purchased for you? Your table setting looks good, I like your napkins at that angle. Forget the food, it's all about the presentation.

Hells Kitchen is what we should deem your apt.

Yeah so what about the food. As long as the table is pretty. It's a special occasion at my house if our glasses are actually made of glass.

Hello! Eating take out/at restaurants has become completely acceptable. Like we need to know how to cook.

p.s. "sucks ass" was pretty much the only thing that ever came from my vocal cords for the whole 2001 and 2002 years. And maybe part of 2000.

Erica said...

lol I think you should put "sucks ass" back into rotation Emily.
