Well. The potatoes turned out fairly well. Better than I thought (I can't believe I forgot to take a picture). I had a huge amount of ketchup on my plate in case I needed to douse them and cover the badness. Ended up throwing most of that condiment away. So I guess I won this potato battle. Until next time, that is. Although I thought this was supposed to get easier....
But the main dish....while not BAD, it wasn't terribly good either. I followed the recipe closely except for a minor substitution or two. I believe my problem was worrying that they wouldn't be done enough AND waiting for the potatoes to cook. They were slightly overdone. Not dry, thank goodness, but not as juicy as I had hoped. One day, I will have the perfect meal; where everything is done at the same time and it all tastes wonderful. Sounds a little far-fetched to me but apparently it's possible; people do it all the time!
Thanks for listening and hopefully next time I'll have a picture to show!
Keep the Faith froggy! your doing great. Sometimes you need to look at how far you have come and give your self some credit.(Rome was not built in a day) And each time your making something new and you are not quitting. That's a victory :o) And you seem to be having a good times and that also is a victory :o) So celebrate a little it's good for you. And keep up the good work
