When my husband deployed to Afghanistan, I needed a way to fill my time and use my energy. I have always loved to cook, but I have recently developed a passion, or obsession for cooking new things. Every Friday, I cook a meal I have never prepared (including dessert). I'm starting this blog so that I can remember my experiences and meals. My husband is home now, and he loves the tradition, as well as the company these dinners have started to attract.
