we've come so far



neither ross nor i have ever really gotten into cooking, especially before we were married. we both had pretty simple tastes in foods that didn't involve much more than using the microwave to warm something up. a few months after we started dating, we decided to give cooking a delicious meal a try. and it was A LOT of work. it turned out decently well, but i dont think we got it on the table and sat down till about 9:30 or 10 pm. Lets just say, we were very clueless and very much beginners at the whole cooking thing. Here's our first attempt at a good homemade meal... 

I am proud to say we have come pretty far in the cooking department. We still don't cook all that often, but this past Sunday we decided to make a nice big meal for lunch and I have to say it might be in the top meals I have ever had. We grilled amazing cilantro lime chicken, grilled asparagus, and made cous-cous with cilantro and lime for a side. so so so good. And it definitely didn't take us the hours and hours to make like our first meal did. I am still definitely not up to par with the impressive women who have dinner on the table every night (I dont think I will ever know how they manage to do that), but we have definitely come a long ways! And...the matching nice dishes from our wedding gifts may help a bit with making it look better :)
