I apologize in advance to anyone offended by the title of this week’s cookbook. I try to keep it PG around here for the most part, but maybe you can bear with me for a little PG-13 this week?
I bought this cookbook on New Year’s Day of this year. Dennis and I had stayed downtown to see the fireworks and the acorn drop and stopped by a Barnes and Noble on the way home. I found this book, didn’t think it sounded like anything I already owned, and the rest is history. Or something.
Anyway, the recipes in this book are really great. At least as far as the ones I made go, they’ll make you feel a little fancy, even if you’re eating off of paper plates with plastic utensils. I promise.
This week’s recipes also mark the first time I did several things: the first time I made a pork tenderloin, the first time I cooked steak, and the first time I made pesto. We’ll start with the pesto. Is my pesto the besto? I don’t know, but it’s pretty good-o. (50 points to whomever gets that reference!)
