I'm breaking out in hives... must be time to jump into a new rotation! Yay odd reactions to stress!

I didn't accomplish much this weekend except A LOT of cooking. It's one of my favorite ways to spend my time. And with the money that Glen and I would have spent going to out to dinner for Valentine's Day, I was able to whip up an awesome three course meal. We had cheese fondue, crepes with lobster in champagne sauce (my own recipe), and chocolate fondue featuring pretzels, pineapple, banana, maraschino cherries, mini raspberry cheesecakes, and home made caramels. We actually spread the feast out over two nights because we got full in the middle.

I also cooked for some friends who I thought could use a freezer full of food right around now. They got beef and veggie soup, macaroni and cheese, and coq au vin (one of my favorite childhood meals), all en masse. All of those recipes came from our collection of Williams-Sonoma Food Made Fast cookbooks, which we got as weddign gifts and with our wedding money. They make the most amazing food! Although, "fast" is used loosely. I can't imagine the complexity of W-S's standard cookbooks.

So on a different note, I am currently taking suggestions for what I should do with the rest of my life. Preferably medicine.. or business.. -related. Please be nice.

Please do medicine so that we can be bff on the floors and eat the fabulous trail mix from the gift shop and eat huge pancake breakfasts at the cafeteria together and cross the street to go to primos for our other meals and to sam's on days when we need to be frugal.
