expanding horizons

as MANY of you know - and if you didn't already, now you will) i REALLY LIKE to cook! i just like everything about it (except the dishes) i like to try new recipes - i like to rely on time-tested ones. i like to make quick weeknight dishes - i like to spend the better part of the day preparing a plethora of appetizers and side dishes and a feast to share. i like to make vegetarian - exotic - pork/chicken/beef - mexican - italian - you name it! well, yesterday i took the plunge and expanded into a new realm, personally. usually i leave the grilling to richard. he really enjoys doing it and is great at it. well, i wanted to fix fajitas and we all know the best fajitas are grilled. it is just something you can't duplicate in the house. so while he was sleeping/getting up for work . i did it . . .

and at the risk of sounding like i am bragging - those were some DARN GOOD fajitas!!

oh - there is no limit to where i can go from here!

ps - i really like cooking for other people - so invite yourself over anytime - just give me notice and there will be food!

She was not kidding when she said that they were the best darn fajitas.

What's that you say? Fajitas? Ok. What time? :)

I love to cook, too, except when I'm dragging in the door at 5:30 after teaching all day. (It's days like those that I love my crock-pot the most!)

I'm really looking forward to being able to cook more this summer. Maybe we can put our ovens/grills together and come up with some feasts!

P.S. Don't know if you've discovered them or not, but HEB has some fabulous pre-seasoned chicken and beef fajita meat.
