Or your all night restaurant

I’m in a cooking mood lately. I’m by no means the world’s best cook, despite that Food Science class in college that Holli made me take. Just kidding, you know I loved it – green muffins and all. But for some reason, lately I’ve had a huge interest in teaching myself how to cook. The problem is that I don’t have great instincts. I can find a recipe and follow it and be ok, but I have zero imagination.

So I’m working on it. I have to give props to the Pioneer Woman and her cooking blog for giving an average cook like me hope that good food doesn’t have to be super difficult. (Side note, Pioneer Woman is awesome. I love her blog, you should read it). I made her lasagna and am proud to say that it was very good. And hey, guess what, the Internet is GREAT for finding recipes and such, so I really don’t have any excuses anymore, right?

I’ll keep y’all posted on my cooking progress, too. Why, you ask? Well, I guess because it gives me something to blog about and as you can tell, I’ve had a huge writer’s block lately.

Now, does anyone have any suggestions (other than the obvious Chicken Marsala) on what to do with chicken and fresh mushrooms? I’m listening. Let me know.

I could have been a meteorologist. No seriously. I think I could do it. What other job is there in the world that you can be flat out wrong 99% of the time and still stay employed? Oh wait, maybe a politician, but I digress.

The point is, if a runner up from The Bachelor can double as reporter and weekend fill in weather girl, I could totally do it. And I love weather. It is interesting to me. (Yes, Justin, that is my mother calling right now to ask me if I’ve checked the weather). And growing up where I did, I have a healthy respect for it. But all seriousness aside, pretty much any woman out there could do the weather.

Here’s why – our hair. No really. I can tell in the morning by my hair if it going to rain or not. And I’m right just as many times as those balding weather guys are. Who needs to study the Jet Stream and learn about wind shears and such? A girl with straight hair will tell you on days the humidity is up and/or days that rain is likely, her hair will try its best to curl. And on the other side, on days the humidity is up and/or days that rain is likely, girls with curly hair like me will find there somewhat lackadaisical curls will either refuse to curl at all or hyper curl into a Shirley Temple cut. These are facts, people. And this doesn’t even cover “big hair” days. Ladies, am I right?
