I am very proud of myself...I made my first crockpot dish, and with this, I feel I am confronting some more fears of maternal identification. It took me 6 yrs of marriage to have D14 and 20 years to deal with food/cooking phobia. I made an arroz con pollo dish (the chicken was great but the rice was soggy) and my H absolutely loved the effort and gave me a ton of hugs. This domestication is kind of exciting!
a side note to Lil... I am sorry for your loss of the furry one---we have the sweetest dog who is my daughter's best friend---it's going to be a sad day when we lose her.
