It seemed a bit higher than my pay grade though. How do you do it? You two should definitely start a food blog. I would love to make yogurt! It seemed a bit higher than my pay grade though.

If so, you should try making that. Jeannie and I have been doing that for a while. It's really easy and yummy, especially if you mix in homemade lemon curd! Do you like yogurt?

Keep us informed on what you decide to make and how it goes. I have a dinner menu suggestion. Try this Indian recipe Yellow Split Pea Dahl (http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianindianrecipes/r/yellowdhal.htm ) with some homemade Naan (http://indianfood.about.com/od/breadrecipes/r/naan.htm). I've found you need to simmer the dahl for about 40 mins to get the flavors to permeate the peas and soften it up sufficiently. Throw a scoop of greek yogurt and fresh cilantro on top. Super healthy, inexpensive and easy-peasy. Pardon my pun. I applaud you Paul! Keep us informed on what you decide to make and how it goes.

But I do remember her inviting a boy home for tea when they were 7. I saw him in the playground the day before and asked him what he wanted to eat. Heinz tomato soup (from a can), was his answer. ok I said and asked if it was his favourite food. "No, my favourite is roast dinner but She ( still not going to publically out her), says you can't cook!). So from then on I gave up even trying. Good luck and let us know how you get on - and I agree wine would be a step too far ok I am stumped, I have no story about my daughter and my cooking because I simply don’t.
