I smell like butter
Matt and I have been trying to eat at home more often, both because we'd like to eat healthier than most restaurants make doable and wouldn't mind saving money in the bargain. So we've been trying out a lot of new recipes, mostly from our favorite cooking show, Good Eats. Some things like the granola bars have been big hits, but like any cooking show, the majority of the dishes lean to the unhealthy side. For instance, tonight I made Chicken Piccata for the first time. That's chicken pounded flat, floured, and fried in a metric ton of butter. Then you add shallots (the "vegetable"), white wine, lemon juice, and more butter to make a sauce so rich that you only need to wave your pasta near it. The result is, naturally, crazy delicious. The downside is that I'll apparently smell like butter for days, not to mention that I should probably take a year off my life expectancy. I don't think that one will be going into the regular rotation.
