Who knew cooking could be so fun?

Yesterday, Natalie and I went to Dinner by Design and made 12 meals.  If you have not heard about this company, they do all the shopping, prepping, and cleaning up for the meals that you pick.  After we mixed one thing, the nice lady would come around and clean up after us.  Then we would go to the next station and all our ingredients would be ready for us -- IE the onions diced, the cheese shredded, the spices all ready to go.  Way cool.  The main dishes come to about $10/meal when you split the orders.  So we made:   

Barbecue-Rubbed Pork Chops   

Greek Burgers

Mango-Chipotle Pork Fillet

Caribbean Chicken Skewers

Three-Cheese Penne Florentine

Parmesan Herb Chicken

Natalie had a great time.  I did realize (as she was looking at various spoons when I asked her to get a cup) that maybe I don't cook with her enough.  She wants to go again.  The 6 meals were divided into 12 and all but two are in the freezer.  Tonight I made the Greek Burgers.  Not a hit with Maria -- too spicy and too contrary, and my dad did not eat much either -- claims he wasn't hungry.  Natalie and I loved it.  Way cool.  The main dishes come to about $10/meal when you split the orders.
