need help already
happy new year to all! i think this is going to be a good year and i am looking forward to it with enthusiasm.
my first challenge happens next week. at work, the group i'm part of (5 of us right now) have decided to have a monthly lunch-with-theme. so next week we're going to do italian.
i've never liked to cook (i'd rather be reading or doing stuff on the computer) although i do all right when i have to fix something, however -- italian? i do not know any authentic italian recipes and haven't ever really fixed any italian meals (pizza and spaghetti doesn't count). the husband and i just decided we'd get a bottle of chianti, drink it, put a candle in it, light it and let it drip, then i can take that as an atmosphere-setter. it won't be enough though. i really need a good dish. either something you can eat cold or which is easy to warm up.
any great recipes you'd like to share?
