I finally get to test out Joy recipes this weekend – my first one home since I went to college so it feels kind of weird. And wonderfully homey. What to choose? My parents were glad to volunteer me to make a whole meal for dinner, but I figure I’ll only make the entrée out of the Joy of Cooking and just mix up a quick salad and have some fresh fruit to go with it. So the first thing I need to find is an easy entrée. The second, if I feel like making it would be a side of some sort for that dinner. The third, which I’m definitely going to do, is to make something sweet to take back to the dorm for the other girls.
So, a lot of these recipes have a lot of different steps. That’s pretty intimidating … but I can do it! I shall not be scared away by print. Print is my friend. I love to read. *deep breaths* How sad would that be if I had to report my first Joy recipe as a failure because of my own inadequacy? Very, but it won’t happen.
The journey begins … tomorrow. Which reminds me of a quote from Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. “It’s a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no telling where you might be swept off to.” I’m about to step on the road.
For entrée: Fettuccini with fresh herbs
For side: Fresh Garlic Bread
For Roomies: Peanut Butter Pie (& pie crust & chocolate glaze)
