her everyday italian cookbook on our kitchen table tonight}
new recipe night.
sometimes the recipe sounds delicious.
the ingredients are all things we like and i could
easily find them at one grocery store today.
the directions are simple - i can understand every word.
then suddenly, you find every pot used, every spoon dirty,
the dishwasher filled to the brim, the counters cluttered with opened spices and
the recipe smugged from reading it so many times.
the aroma fills the kitchen and overflows to the first floor.
the boys keep asking when its time for dinner.
the table is set.
the cute william sonoma bowls are anxiously awaiting
to be filled.
it looks restaurant perfect with its freshly chopped flat
parsley and ground pepper.
it smells good. it looks good. it tastes terrible.
end of story.
we tried. we ate. we threw away the recipe along
with the leftovers.
and that was today.
back to the cookbooks tomorrow in search of another
new recipe to torture the boys with.
