Damn You Food Network!!!

A couple weeks ago, I was watching Oprah and there was a recipe for a vodka cream pasta that was supposedly to die for. OK, OK - well the recipe isn't "mine" per se - its Rachel Ray's "You Wont Be Single For Long Vodka Cream Pasta" but damn! I made my first pasta sauce from scratch, was able to slice and dice the veggies, cook the pasta al dente and viola! Needless to say, this will be added to my repertoire, and the leftovers will be used for lunch tomorrow.

I'd like to know if this recent bout of cooking is some form of Food Network type brainwashing. All I know is that I'm cooking way too much lately. Maybe its to overcomes for the fact that my mother burns everything, and I mean EVERYTHING she cooks. Or maybe its to make up for the 2 years of hamburger helper that my father would cook after my mother left. (That's pretty much all he knows how to make). Either way - I *heart* this recipe. The pasta, mixed with a good White Merlot and some homemade bread (OK - it was Pillsbury but still, I made it at home and NO BURNING) - yumm-O! (Sorry Maleek!)

Maybe I should tell my mother to forget about cooking, for the safety of all involved.
