 Oh man that sounds so good. I would love to have that for dinner tonight! But I have a question for you. Is this a hard meal to cook or can a average person, like myself, cook this themselves? I love to eat and I am starting to love to cook. But I have to say I really like your plan. One last thing. Does anyone know a good cook book to use because I am very new to the cooking scene so I am not very good at cooking original meals so I need a cook book. Any good ideas? My favorite food is Italian so maybe an Italian cook book would be good. |
