Today was my first full day alone with the kids. Both parents are travelling on business, and they overlapped by one day. The kids were good, and there was a little less stress for me, knowing that if the kitchen wasn't totally cleaned by 8:00, that was ok because I had plenty of time.
I made rice again, and for the second time, I overcooked it. I did get the proportion right this time however, so it's a step in the right direction. I hate cooking rice. People all have their opinions on how to do it, and everyone says its easy. Today's wasn't actually overcooked, I actually think I did fairly well, but what I consider "done", they consider sticky, and therefore too cooked. I even tried to under cook it today, but alas, that didn't work. I find out after I put it on the table, that the kids prefer it to be more cooked than their mom's style, so I worried fr nothing.
I feel as if I write about my misfortunes in the kitchen a lot, but I'm actually pretty handy. I just feel as if the missteps are a little more amusing. But I cooked an apple cake, and more cookies today, both of which turned out splendidly. So maybe I'll just stick to sugary baked goods, I wonder where that falls on the well balanced diet.
