Yesterday's Cook-a-thon
Sweet & Sour Beef Stew in the crockpot: Very good and made the kitchen smell really good all day.
Charlotte's Noodle Kugle: Very good. Freezes beautifully!
Chicken Enchilada Cassarole: Pretty good...too many onions for Jeff, though. This got much better after substituting shredded chicken for that nasty, no flavor tempeh. I love making vegetarian dishes better and more...meaty.
Curried Chicken Turnovers: Very Good but takes too damn long to thaw, cut, and fill those pesky puff pastries...especially when I've doubled the recipe. File under "Painful, but worth the effort...sometimes".
Spicy Crab Salad: Very good...but too many onions for Jeff. He'll have to make his own. I don't have to fucking cook everything just for him.
Cranberry mulled Wine: Good...but no cranberries to be found in late december and substituting with frozen Berry Medley just didn't cut it. Tasted OK but not after one glass. Would be better when it's really cold and there are actual people around; i.e., don't drink alone.
Recipes for anyone who wants them.

It would seem that in an early post today you wrote: "I want to be better and really take this year to be a better partner, more loving and less critical, more honest and sharing and less selfish."
Yet in a later post you wrote: "too many onions for Jeff. He'll have to make his own. I don't have to fucking cook everything just for him. "
This BEGS THE QUESTION: which is it? I'll just write it off to your finely tuned sense of ironic humor.

You're absolutely right...and I did dash off this last post with some realization of its seemingly conflicting stance with 'being better'. That being said, it will take several years before I can come to grips with being better to someone who won't eat onions. I plan on being better to Jeff this year in a number of other ways, most dirty, inappropriate, and practically unbloggable, however tolerating his disdain for onions isn't going to be one of them this go around. Thanks for asking for the clarification.
Make Jeff eat peanut butter if he doesn't like too many onions. He's how old again?
Am I the only one who wants the goods on these goods?
Sweet & Sour Beef Stew in the crockpot! Mulled wine! Post please!
