I’m writing this as Eden sings along to a Charmin Ultra commercial. I think her hour a day television allotment needs to be decreased.

Yesterday I made Empanadas, from Martha Stewart Everyday Food. Those of you who read my weekly menus know that I LOVE my Everyday Food magazine. There have been very few recipes from the magazine that I haven’t liked. Unfortunatly, Empanadas were one of them. To me they tasted like Sloppy Joe Pockets. I HATE, I LOATHE sloppy joes. I was very disappointed because I spent a lot of time on the Empanadas. Friday I made the filling and yesterday I finished them up by making the dough and filling them. I baked half of them and froze the other half (so I get the pleasure of eating sloppy joe pockets again!!!!) Oh well, I guess Martha can’t be perfect.

Now that we have Tivo, I’ve been recording cooking shows. I love cooking shows. Everyday Food just started doing a show on PBS. What could be more perfect than watching my favorite cooking magazine on TV? I’ve also been watching Barefoot Contessa. It’s a little cheesy, but I really like Ina Garten’s cookbooks and any cooking show is worth watching.
