In an effort to actually make use of cookbooks on my shelf, I'm going to attempt to try at least one new recipe each week. It may or may not turn out to be good, but it will certainly be interesting.

I had a couple of containers of strawberries that were sitting in the fridge. I love strawberries, but about two-thirds the way through the first container I was already getting tired of them. So as not to waste them, I pureed them and made fresh strawberry sorbet. In its new form, strawberries and I are again on good terms.

Matt doesn't like vegetables unless they are prepared in certain ways or as part of a meat dish, ceaser salad and stir fry are good examples of this. It seems they need to be disguised in flavor to make it onto his plate. Other than his dislike for plain veggies and raw food, he's an easy person to cook for. I doubt he cares much either way, sticking to the old or trying out the new, but I'm hoping that he'll enjoy the new food.
