A grilled chicken taco salad that I have been "perfecting." Several dressing renditions- I think I have found the perfect balance of ingredients. I love to cook and to be honest, really miss cooking for other people. LOL, in both of my past LTRs, I was the chef, neither partner liked to cook and well... were not so good at it. But both would join in the preparation often and I enjoy tossing, throwing in a pinch or two, smelling for taste, chopping or grating with someone sharing their day with me and pouring me a half glass of a good merlot for me. Simple ways of sharing time together that promote communication.
My great niece just entered a chef's school and I can't wait to see her during the holidays and find out how she is doing. She wants to open a resturant eventually. It took her awhile to gain acceptance to this school and she will also have to travel for her full training. It ain't flippen' burgers!
Her Dad, my oldest sister's youngest son is so proud of her- as he should be. He's a single Dad and he wants his kids to gain independence, but I think he is anxious about his "little girl" sometimes being thousands of miles away. But, hell, she is 21 now. She has worked so hard to gather the money and pre experience needed to follow her dream. I know he is also relieved that she will finally be breaking away from her boyfriend that unfortunately, is not motivated to do much of anything. But he's young.
