recipes 15 March 2007

So far, a running list of the recipes we’ve tried out and can cook with some confidence. I swear that I used to not know how to cook before getting married (heck, Y is better at it than I am, he’s a natural). It took a while to break into the role of cook, but hey, if we can do it, inexperienced that we are, you can too!
