This recipe will probably be remembered as the first real "meal" I cooked in our married life. Mind you, it was after we had been married for over two months! Opps, sorry JT. Somehow I never did a lot of cooking growing up, and frankly, I don't know what I ate in college because I don't remember cooking anything. But with a kitchen decked out in wonderful wedding gifts of pink kitchen tools, I couldn't help myself. I have the baking bug. My kitchen bible is Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food" recipe book, and the binding often seems to open up to this page ...

Janette - one of my first "real" meals after getting married included lima beans.
I used a dish that was only for the oven - not for stovetop - and it exploded all over the kitchen. Beans were everywhere.
I also vividly remember making a cheesecake (must have been a mix) and instead of using sugar - I put in salt... Like a whole cup of it. I served it to the "then guy that I was married to" and his face puckered up like a prune.
Needless to say, it wasn't on purpose, however, as I look back - I do look back with malice and forethought as the marriage was a horrible mistake (except for my beautiful daughter Jennifer). Do you think my subconscious took over and had me reach for the salt??
