My joy of cooking

So tonight I made:
Potage Parmentier, Coq Au Vin, Oignons glaces a brun, champignons sautes au beurre, which according to "Mastering the art of french cooking" is: Potato and Leek Soup, Chicken in Red Wine with carmelized onions and brown butter braised mushrooms.
My husband who is the Network Engineer for our small family owned business: Pure Country Pet Boutique LOVED the soup and then through drooling said "it was the best chicken dish I have ever had". I think he was partial to the mushrooms. I really loved the soup. It filled me up though so it was hard to finish the chicken dish.. which was YUMMMMM..Nothing gives me more joy than to cook something that is enjoyed. Even my 15 year old son who never eats anything, after complaining about the onions... he polished off his entire plate. I would highly recommend this dish!

Other than cooking from 3pm to 5:30pm I worked the first part of the day. Finalized booths at Backer and Superzoo (which are pet industry trade shows) and did all of my shipping and making Grocery lists etc... It is hard meal planning. I do get a kick out of it though. There is some great feeling in accomplishing making a gourmet meal that everyone loves.

Whole Chickens are on special this next week in Cali. poultry it is!!!
