Humble Pie

This recipe is not in the book but it is what I had for dinner last night!

I think perhaps we have Ina overdose in my home. I admit we had a lot of Ina last night - 3 recipes - but they were all leftovers.

Our dinner conversation began with, "Mom, when are you going to go back to cooking the old way?" This comment came from my 13 year old daughter.

Wisely, my husband and son did not make any comment although they had a hard time keeping the grins off their faces.

I have so enjoyed cooking and blogging from Barefoot Contessa and must admit that I have been proud of the many new dishes I have served my family. They have not all been keepers but I have loved the variety as I get so tired of cooking the same old thing over and over.

A few things I have learned: God gives us kids to keep us humble! It's that brutal honesty they are blessed with! (FYI...never go shopping for a swimsuit with your daughter...and I mean never!) And children (and husbands) don't take well to change!

Frances again, "But seriously Mom, when are you going to be done with this book?"

Didn't have the heart to tell her I may even cook through another cookbook when this one is done!

P.S. We are not having Ina for dinner tonight!
