You know I went and saw Julie and Julia last week (a rare night out BY MYSELF.....oh the sweet, sweet silence) and I have been wanting to cook more complicated dishes ever since. This week I cooked three relatively complicated meals (the Salmon, Chili from scratch and a gourmet burger night complete with homemade guacamole, queso, baked beans and marinade!!). The table has been set nicely every night.....the house has smelled delicious. The kids will come around, I hope! Thank you, Heather.

Last night, I tried something else I'd never done -- make jam without added pectin. I used 2 cups of puree to 1 cup sugar and cooked it to the gelling point. Ended up with about 10 half pints of jam, one of which I did not seal, so we could try it this morning. IT IS PHENOMENAL! No comparison to store-bought grape jelly, or even grape jam. Doing it without pectin took much more attention on my part, maybe because I'm new at it, but my friend who has a berry farm does her jam that way so she can make big batches, and I was inspired to give it a shot. On today's plan: -- peach jam, peach melba jam and canned peaches!

I found so GROWN UP, so CHEF-LIKE as I cooked it. It smelled great, it looked amazing, it cooked up perfectly. My husband and I adored it. The kids despised it and will probably run away if I ever cooked such grown-up fair for them again (all except the 13 year old who eats anything that isn't nailed down!). But....who cares if the other four hated it. For the FIRST time in a LONG time, I actually ENJOYED cooking! Woo hoo......these kids of mine better watch out!

Just keep exposing them to grown up food and eventually they will surprise you with what they request. In my house it has been a process to introduce more beans into our diet. (they eat many varieties now, but it didn't start out that way). If any of the kids ask what's for dinner I invariably respond butterbeans, their most despised side. Anything other than that is a pleasant surprise as far as they are concerned. While it's important to not go out of your way to cook foods everyone will hate, it's also good to find foods you enjoy preparing. That shifts cooking from drudgery into an enjoyable experience.

Again, it's one of those things that I know is possible, but wow! Cloudy should be fine, think of the difference between the fantastic cider at stands and the stuff you buy in the store (which while good isn't quite the same). I am utterly fascinated by this.

Yes, if you wanted to, you could do most of the work the night before. Prep up to the point where the pinwheels are in the buttered pan, then place in the refrigerator and cover tightly with saran wrap. You'd be better off making the gravy while the pinwheels are cooking the next day, but if reheated carefully, it can be made the day before.
