I've started keeping a dinner journal, ala Dinner: A Love Story, so picking out hits and misses is relatively easy- my notes either say "ehhh" or "yum! again!"
Hits:
One of the fantastic wedding gifts we got was a breadmaker. I've found a couple recipes that I like, but the one I love are these easy garlic dinner rolls. I've made them 3 times in a week. I add a good shake of rosemary for a garlic-rosemary twist. We've eaten them with salmon & pasta, and stew with friends and tonight with glazed ham.
Haiti Bloggers 2012. Jen Hatmaker, the writer of "7," a book/project I'll explain in its own post, is going to Haiti this week with a number of other bloggers. Our family will be praying that their trip is safe and harmonious. They'll be blogging all week about the trip, the link above has their posts. I've developed a soft spot in my heart for Haiti since my Uncle Tom recently made a trip there to work on building a school. A couple weeks ago Brian and I started sponsoring a 4 year old boy in Haiti through Compassion International.
This grilled pork tenderloin, glazed with molasses and bourbon. It didn't last long in our house!
These fake facebook quarterback conversations are priceless, and the sequel.
Misses:
A chicken-veggie-pasta soup. I cooked all the pasta in the big pot of soup. That was dumb and it just turned mushy over time. Next time, just hit up each batch with it's own tiny serving of pasta.
Rolls that I won't even link too, but I was at my parent's house and without a couple crucial ingredients for the garlic-rosemary rolls. I tried a new recipe and they were horrid. We're completely spoiled for all other dinner rolls now.
The fact that it is now still dark when the alarm goes off. Boo.
