Hard Day at the Office, Dear?

Apple Wingding*

You'll Need:

1 Red Apple

1 paring knife

1 pair of high heels

Carefully peel apple, maintaining that one long strip, all the way around. Discard apple. Take off all your clothes. Place apple peel around your neck like a tie, and sit on the kitchen counter in a pair of high heels. Wait for husband to arrive home. Wingding should commence immediately after.

Mood Music:

Anything at all from the Pretty Woman soundtrack

"On the Couch" by Prince

"W-O-M-A-N" by Etta James

"Baby Done a Bad, Bad Thing" by Chris Isaak

* I swear to Moses, this recipe comes straight out of the otherwise modest cooking tome from a United Methodist's Women group.

The kitchen can be a scary place. I know. I've been in the trenches. Your kitchen is filled with hot things, sharp things and other potential accidents. Further, it can suck up some time. Yet I feel that women (and men) of all ages are doing their own selves a huge disservice by not cooking -- especially young women who aren't developing the cooking skills they will need for a lifetime of healthy, good eating. There is an obesity crisis in this country, and many other women are unhappy with their weight. I think by getting ourselves back to basics, we will be better equipped in the years to come with an arsenal of good recipes and a genuine, developed enjoyment of cooking. Not all these recipes are quick and easy, though I feel like most of them are, but they're all do-able by someone like me (a 26-year-old newlywed who works three jobs and is finishing her MA degree). By injecting a little of my own self-deprecating humor and some youthful exuberance into the kitchen, I hope that you all will leave with a positive mindset and a willingness to try something, anything, sometime. You're worth it! In any case, I'm glad you stopped by!

Dainty Disclaimer

I have been cooking for a while, and I've gotten recipes from a WIDE variety of sources. Mostly these recipes are adaptations of family recipes or adapted and tweaked from a Weight Watcher's recipe book. Because I'm OCD (as well as ADHD), I have my own way of doing literally everything, so all my recipes are hand-copied into my own hand, in my own recipe folder. Thus, I have no way of knowing if I'm ripping off your grandmother. If I am, I apologize in advance. I do try to give credit where it's due, when I know the source. Unfortunately, however, this isn't always possible to track down.
