I hoped that I would not spend the entire day in the kitchen but I did spend the entire day in the kitchen. It takes a lot of effort to put an entire meal on the table. Today I made osso bucco and whole wheat pasta and a basic egg pasta with basil. I found a great website http://www.cookingforengineers.com/. This website had a great osso bucco recipe that is similar to Mario Batali's. What I love about the site is that it is written very clearly and has photos that you can follow along with. I don't have much experience cooking anything other than steaks so this was pretty challenging for me. I bought two beef shanks at the farmer's market from a rancher that sells organic, grass-fed beef. According to Americangrassfedbeef.com grass-fed beef is lower in fat and is better for your health. I think it taste better too.
My husband made chocolate truffles and all in all we enjoyed ourselvles today. The scale may dampen our spirits in the morning. It takes a long time to make things froms scratch and even so we use items that are store bought such as cream and butter. Tomorrow I will start watching calories much more closely.
