we like to cook.

tonight, over dinner, brian and i found ourselves involved in a conversation typical to one of our home-cooked meals. after having put together a meal of curried tilapia with mango salsa, peppers roasted with garlic, basic, and tomatoes, with a side of basic brown rice, we critiqued our own food.

"this tilapia is too salty," i commented, feeling a twinge guilty (brian had made the tilapia).

"and we left the jalapenos out from the salsa" brian commented, feeling a twinge guilty (alison had forgotten to buy the jalapenos).

"and i made the rice too dry!" i replied. i normally consider myself a "rice connoisseur."

we continued along in this fashion, knowing that the next time we approached this meal, all would be forgotten. we mourned our future selves for unknowingly repeating the same mistakes. then, brian was struck with brilliance: "let's make a blog, where we document all of our meals, what we put in them, what we liked, and what we'd change!" what a great resource! now we'll never have trouble again!

i thought it was great. (plus, since i'm the girly one, i was excited that we could do a cute couple thing like post our meals on an adorable, smiley blog.) so, we like to cook. obviously, we kinda stink at it. this blog is our first step towards improvement.

Love,
Al and Bri
