It's like Christmas in March

Ahhhhh, Amazon.

My Amazon package came yesterday which brightened my otherwise dismal work day. I am making a promise to you, dear readers (and really, there are only two of you…..Ronda and Ryan), NOT to discuss my job, b/c this blog could easily become a rant against my place of employment. I fear termination too much and I would hate to lose my 5 weeks of PTO a year.

Like, I said, I LOVE Amazon delivery days. It’s like my birthday, except I know exactly what I’m getting AND I paid for it, so, it’s really not like my birthday at all.

I just received 2 books, “Housekeeping”, and “Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen”.

I’m TOTALLY excited to read the latter. My boss Kenneth told me about it a few months ago and my interest was piqued because my boyfriend and I are trying to explore cooking a little more…..but our kitchen is the size of a shoebox. We can’t both stand in the kitchen at the same time or I get very cranky. I can't image trying to create a Julia Child's recipe in my kitchen, so I hope I will be inspired. I think my boyfriend is getting tired of taco salad, turkey meatballs and chicken parmesan....which are really the only meals I know how to make, and I can't even claim I cook them well.

Anyway, the book comes highly recommended from Kenneth, a foodie and gourmet cook and fellow “Top Chef” fan. He makes salsa from scratch, so I consider him a good reference.

I’ll let you know if I learn how to make crepes, dear readers.
