Cooking!

So as you know, cooking is a struggle for me, b/c I don't do it and don't like it (not sure which came first . . . ).  I have been significantly better at picking recipes, planning the week, and Doug cook which is working out well for all of us.  But as one of my resolutions, I wanted to try to engage myself as well.  All I really want to do is re-organize our pantry, etc which involves shopping at fun places (like the Container Store - which requires a road trip to Chicago - but I digress).  That is a topic for another day.

In addition, my daughter enjoys cooking so I feel not only an obligation to help her learn, but it is something that we can do together.  So I signed us up for a Healthy Mexican Cooking class, which we attended last nite (local community college) and it was great.  We tried and came home with 10 great recipes.  Now I am so inspired.

But my question is, can that count as a NEW TO ME?  20 yrs ago, Doug and I took a  cooking class at Dierberg's (flashback!) but it was not healthy per se.  And Healthy Mexican Food . . well, that is close to an oxymoron, isn't it?  Is there a statue of limitations on experiences to qualify as new?  Just wondering. 

Miranda is developing the concept of a 'bucket list" so maybe that could be my new album . . . b/c you know it is more fun to start new ones than ever finish one that is started.  Or a Smash album - b/c again, more fun to collect and think about than actually write in one.  She wants to learn to sew, so that could be our project for 2012 (sewing class). 

Thoughts?
