You all seem to cook a much wider variety of things than I do. If I made something like this my "eaters" would look at me like I'd lost it. I'm really disappointed that they don't want things like this...give me some fun in the kitchen.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Billy, in my own house, I can't do anything different or fun. The PO and his even pickier son have an extremely limited menu, so I'm stuck in their rut when it comes to cooking. So whenever there's any sort of party or gathering, that's when I get to try new and different things. It's very frustrating to be able to cook, yet not be able to utilize that talent, isn't it?

I'm lucky that I can "play" a little at work!
