Yum!

I hope people find the fact that I am pretty immodest about my own cooking to be endearing rather than a character flaw. I can admit when I screwed something up and it didn't come out as well as it could have (like my recent attempt at apple crisp that turned out too dry). However, when it's good, I sometimes rave about my own homemade food. I roll my eyes in pleasure when I eat my own cooking and it turns out well. I can't help being pleased with myself. Forgive me.

Anyhow, for lunch today, I had a bowl of my leftover lentil stew and a sandwich of hummus, cheddar cheese, assorted salad greens, and oven-roasted red & yellow peppers on my home-baked half-whole-wheat bread, toasted. It was so tasty to me, and it was especially satisfying knowing that I had made a large portion of my lunch food myself from scratch. The only thing that could have made it more satisfying was knowing that I'd grown some of the ingredients myself as well.

I have plans for some container gardening this summer, though, so that further satisfaction is just a few months away...

I wouldn't worry about it, after all we're both the same way. Besides, I've had things you've cooked and they've been delicious, so you've every reason to pat yourself on the back. :)

I agree on the stuff-you've-made-yourself point, too...I have cunning plans in the medium term to try making my own cheddar cheese, and I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Forgive me.

Nothing to forgive. It's adorable. :) That sounds yummy!

(Also, I'm "guilty" of the same thing, so nyah. Hee!)

Honestly, I do the same thing. I expect to hear compliments on my cooking when I get it right. It still bugs me that my parents didn't say that they liked dinner when they were over for Easter. (Its not even my stinkin holiday.)

I love food posts. I don't mind at all shameless promotion of one's own home-cookin', and I do the same. I would love it even MORE if you posted pictures!
