Cook Day: Early Mother's Day

I know it's been a terribly long time since I've blogged. I've been storing it all away, though, even as I've been busy and distracted by other things.

On Friday, my good friend Jasmine and I decided to have a bit of an early Mother's Day dinner. We chose 5 recipes from 2 different cookbooks:

• Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics by Ina Garten and
• The Kitchen Bible by Victoria Blashford-Snell

I've done recipes out of each book and most have been relatively straight-forward. We didn't think 5 recipes would give us too much trouble.

But needless to say, things didn't quite go our way...
