Mrs. Betty Crocker

So since I have been a married women I have been trying a few new things. Things I never bothered with before but knew I had to learn as a trade of being a wife and for my future as a possible mother. Mostly the things I am refering to are the wonderful mysteries of cooking!!
Yes, I have to admit that I have never been much of a cook, and never felt the need to learn in preperation for this time in my life. Quite frankly I had but it came to quick and I wasn't ready. And now here I am... trying to make the best of not knowing how to cook, but pretending like I do for the sake of impressing my husband.
The good part of this is that I'm given a break because my husband, Joel, happens to love cooking. Actually prior to our wedding we made an agreement that if he did all the cooking I would do all the cleaning with only "little" complaining. Just kidding, I don't mind it and enjoy it over cooking so it works out nicely. Some of you men that don't mind cokkin up some meat might be saying "thats the best contract ever, where do I sign". But this saddens me sometimes.
Honestly, I wish I had the skill of cooking like the mom on "Everybody loves Raymond". You know, the women who has her son still comin over to make him a great home cooked meal. And I know every guy would love to have a women who can cook for them like that. So this is where I get bumbed, because like I said I can't cook for beans!! Even though Joel likes to do it, I would love to watch him go bug eyed over something I made for him myself. It's just one of those things a wife wishes for you know. To cook a great meal for her husband.
Well, I'm going to keep trying at it until I get good, and I know I will. I'm already taking notes off Raymonds show, and soon I'm thinking of investing in some Martha Stewart media. Just incase I want to weave some bambo place matts to go with. Before you know it I'll be puttin on parties talkin with my mouthfull and sharing recipes with you.....well.....actually if anyone out there has any to share with me that would be great. Any tips for a desperate house wife trying to feed her husband something etable? haha.

p.s. Just so you know, one thing I can do is Bake. I love to bake anything that serves the craving of a sweet tooth. Cookies, brownies, cake, pie, you name it and I'm on it. To bad my husband doesn't like being fat!!
