I've been really tired lately from all the hustle and bustle of the holidays, so I have had to lay around the house for the past couple of days. It gets really weird when your body just won't do anything...literally. It's even weird to try and describe. I saved up my energy yesterday and cooked dinner. I made some French recipes out of one of my hundreds of cookbooks (yes, I really do have a lot of cookbooks). I made an Eggplant and Tomato Casserole, Cauliflower gratin, and Provencal Tomatoes...yes it was a meatless dinner. They all turned out well. I have been pretty surpised at how easy the French recipes have been. I think French cooking often gets a bad reputation for being complicated and difficult to make, but in my experience thus far most of it really isn't that bad.
