god, i hope this isn't a mistake

big surprise. i've been inspired by paula and julia and that damn movie.

if i wasn't so horrible at the actual techniques, and was artistic and creative and didn't require practice at this stuff, it wouldn't have affected me at all.

but it did and now i'm a daring cook. well. i'm waiting for confirmation and acceptance, but i signed up. membership closes on the 14th of each month, which is today (i'm assuming i can disclose that...), so i don't know if i'll be included in this month's challenge, or next month's.

i secretly hope it's not until next month, so i have time to get my oven fixed. the thermostat is broken. although, i CAN toaster oven it, if necessary.

just fyi...that delicious picture up at the top is used with permission from the lovely and talented Deb of Smitten Kitchen. you should read her blog. every day.

daring cooks. here we go.
