My husband and I have a variety of shared interests and hobbies, one of which is cooking. However, on a typical day it is difficult for both of us to be able to work on a meal together. Between work demands and parenting responsibilities, it seems that one of us is busy when it's time to prepare food. So, when we do have time to cook together, we enjoy it thoroughly.
A couple weeks ago we had an entire Sunday to ourselves. With minimal work obligations and zero parenting responsibilities, we were ready for a day of culinary adventure. Our plan:
