Well, there ya go! I did this list because last nights dinner was a little bit of a fail. Fail in the visual category. It did not look very photogenic, but it did taste alright! I tried a new way of cooking chicken. I coated it in a mustard mixture and then seasoned bread crumbs. The dish started to go downhill when I went to turn the chicken and all the breading either fell off or was horribly burned. I guess it would have been better to bake it. Oh well, now I know! 

To make up for this I cooked both a wonderful lunch and a pretty standard dinner today. I will post about it tomorrow! With pics as well.

I am going to leave you with some pictures of our most recent trip to CA. Twas fun!

They had a high tower at the De Young Museum looking down into the gardens (being worked on) and a great view of western San Fran.
