It is the day before grocery shopping and the cupboards are bare. Ok, not that bare, but some combinations would make interesting meals. So I have decided to make some homemade pizza. For years that meant that I would revert to Amy Dacyczyn's Tightwad Gazette version, but DH has found that he prefers King Arthur Flour's version just a bit more. (Frankly, I still like Amy's more due to the time constraints, but today I had the extra time.) Hopefully, it will be even tastier when I add the tomato sauce that I made the other day.
Lately, it seems I am cooking something up in the kitchen everyday. We made Aunt Florence's Irish soda bread to bring to book club on Monday and Charlotte's molasses cookies for church on Sunday. In fact, I was thinking that it is time to start making up recipe books for the kids. DD will be 16 and DS will be 14. Part of me would like to think that they won't move out for years, but the other part knows that it will be in the blink of an eye. I think that one of the gifts that I would like to send them off with is a compilation of our favorite recipes. Certainly, this will not be a one day project so perhaps I should start now.
Ironically, DD was touting her cooking skills just the other day to a friend who wasn't even sure how to boil water for pasta. I thought "woo-hoo," as she was walking her friend through the steps of making dinner,"at least DD won't starve to death when she is on her own." I thought of some of my first meals that even the dog wouldn't touch.
I know for sure that I will put the homemade pizza dough recipe in their cookbooks. What family recipes do you wan to pass down to your children?
