Random Observation/Comment #385: Doing this cooking challenge makes me appreciate my mom and her food so much more. She’s been doing a 30 YEAR cooking challenge. Now, that’s amazing.
I’m about 3 weeks into the challenge, and I’m actually really happy I’ve come this far. Moving forward, there are a few big events that I would like to cook for, so I’ll devote my cooking energy into those events instead of posting daily:
- Weekend at Bro’s – Angus is having a Turkey day weekend and I’ll be making something with the venison our parents gave us. I’ll cook 2 things and record some of the dishes Angus makes as well.
- Venison Stroganoff – http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/

- Pre-Thanksgiving with B A – Wednesday night turkey ridiculousness is happening with Brian at his apartment. I’m assuming it’s potluck style, so I’ll bring something:

- Thanksgiving Weekend in Pennsylvania – Heading to Pennsylvania to see my aunt for the weekend. I will probably make one or two things while I’m there. I’m not sure what yet, but I’ll think of something. Maybe just cook my mom one of my omelets for fun.
I know what you’re thinking. And, yes, I will probably not survive eating turkey 4 times this year, but I’ll surely die happy and full. I’ll be posting in the same manner as before, but it’ll take some time to get it all out there.
Next step after that would be updating all the allrecipe recipes with photos, comments, and feedback. Shortly after, the month of December will be devoted to the very exciting 30 day exercise challenge with Bianca.
