Wow! It's officially the beginning of my life as a married woman! HOLY CRAP! That's scary.
I'm excited at all the year has to offer... Aunt Martha has offered to help me make a wedding scrapbook! Aunt Clara is going to invite us over for cavatini! Cousins Jo & Brent have Heroes Season 1 on DVD, and said we could borrow it! (I told them we'd just come visit them, and all watch it together!)
I've set my first official goals for 2008... one shouldn't be too awefully hard. I'm on a Monthly Dishcloth Knit-A-Long e-mail list, and I've committed to making all 24 dishclothes (2 per month) with them.
My second goal? I want to learn to cook awesomely cool veggies. Which means, I could really use YOUR help! Anyone have yummy veggie recipes? I want us to change how we eat... to make veggies the star of our meals and meat/potatoes just side dishes. So any veggie/mostly veggie recipes that you have & could share would be AWESOMELY appreciated.

I have this salad that I love to make. Spinach and strawberries seem to be the key ingredients, but I also like to add other things, like mushrooms, sugar snap peas, mandarin oranges and almonds, with a homemade honey mustard. One variation I tried this year was with sugar-coated pecans (in place of the almonds), grilled pears (in place of the strawberries) and dried cranberries (in place of the sugar snap peas). It turns out to be very sweet, like a dessert salad. :-)
Honey mustard recipe I took from Alton Brown and modified it. The basic three ingredients are honey, mustard and vinegar, to make sure the honey and mustard mix smoothly, and also add a kick.
I like spicier mustard, like Poupon, just regular clover honey and some white wine vinegar.
Ok - I have the best cookbook in the land and I will send it to you for your gift, so watch for it! I will not name it, Ms. M. since I want it to be a surprise. Hope your honeymoon was heavenly. Now off to the pictures.
Do you still have my Eggplant Parmegiana recipe? It's a good one.
I can't think of anything else at the moment.
Jana - watch your mail for something from me that will help with this goal! :) It sent out last week!
I'll also dig through my recipes and email you some. I have some great veggie cookbooks! :)
