You guys, I know. I KNOW, ok? I’m not posting, I promise I will and don’t. Then I come back, ask for forgiveness and promise to post more often and then I don’t. I offer you teasers about what I’m cooking, promising to tell you more about it “soon” and then I’m gone for weeks at a time. I’m like the ultimate Bad Boyfriend.
Please don’t quit me yet.
I offer you today a kitchen fail. I have no real fix for it, just wanted to tell you about something that didn’t work in my kitchen. But I offer it to you with a promise: tomorrow I will post a delicious, healthy, awesome for summer salad. No lie, I made it for dinner on Tuesday and then had it for lunch on Wednesday. I will have it for you, with photos tomorrow.
I promise.
Meanwhile, I had this great meal planned for my husband for father’s day. His favorite foods- steak, roasted potatoes, green beans. All pretty simple and easy to make- nothing new, sort of his favorite dinner standard. What could go wrong, right?
Well, it started with the lack of soy sauce. I couldn’t do my usual marinade. Then, I was distracted by the toddler while making a different marinade and it ended up far too salty. Then I overcooked the steak. And forgot to add garlic to the potatoes. Sigh. At least the green beans were good.
Lest the husband think I was passive-aggressively cooking, I made a good dessert. Granted, a great deal of it was purchased but whatever. I got points.
Pound cake with strawberries, blueberries and whipped cream. No fail. Really.
Sigh. You can’t win them all, huh?
My Family Table 
We didn’t have garlic in the potatoes when I came did we? Did they need garlic? I don’t think they did!
Of course, when I was there the steak was perfect. You may not be able to win them all, but as long as you win when I visit, I’ll be happy 😛
