My mom is an amazing cook. Truly, she really is. Not only is she a great cook but she always cooks with the highest quality ingredients, which really makes a difference. She was always a good cook but my sister and I were picky and she was busy when we were little so the food she made was wonderful but more simple. With time and a less picky audience, she has just amazed me with the things she tries out and how good everything turns out.
Peter is working both days this weekend and Mr. T is sick (more on that tomorrow) so we are kind of limited to what we can do. My mom invited the kids and I over for dinner tonight and made us a feast. Not the kids, the adults. We had red wine, spanish olives and saganaki for appetizers (fried cheese people, FRIED CHEESE!) and for dinner she made salmon and potatoes and I made green beans. It was delicious and made me so happy and was so much better than the quesadillas I was going to throw together at home. After dinner the kids got to teach Nana and Grandpa how to play Apples to Apples which made them pretty happy. I was still reveling in the fried cheese. Mmm....
Saturday night dinner at Nana's. It really makes the fact that you are home alone on Saturday night (which happens A LOT, more often than not) more fun.
Just thinking about FRIED CHEESE is enough for me. Dairy and I don't get along well, but I may have to make an exception for fried cheese; your version looks nothing like the Mozzarella Sticks that other places offer. Pray tell, what kind of cheese and would she be willing to share her recipe ?~! thanks for posting Sarah, i am glad to see all is well for you.
