I cooked for the first time since 1987

Last night I made potato soup. Now that the Big Orange Baby steals all my food from me, the Big Orange desires to eat certain things. Normally, I just make Ali cook for me but I refuse to make her cook me things she can't eat. Every time I cook, Dave says it is the first time. This is not all the way true. While we could probably count the number of times I have cooked something since we have been together on one hand, it is not the first. Liz suggested we make a list of every time so when he says that we can refer to the list and prove him wrong. Emily noted, "you have a blog". So here is the list of everything I have ever cooked since I have known Dave. It is short.

1. Tuna noodle casserole. I don't remember what year. Maybe 2004ish
2. For Ali's birthday I had to make an "audition" chocolate torte a week before the actual event so she could make sure I wasn't incompetent.
3. The actual birthday chocolate torte.
4. Liz and I made pumpkin spice cookies. Liz mostly made this while I bossed her around which is how we work in the kitchen probably much to her dismay.
5. Liz and I make sweet potato wedges for every holiday meal. That is our only job before. She actually makes them by herself for all the Ohio meals because I am not at her house. I would help her if she wanted me to though. I do the dishes afterwards.
6. Chicken and noodles because we moved to NC and can't go to Nancy's Diner on Thursdays and I feel really bad about that. I never made it again even though I really should because it was actually pretty good. I even had to merge together a few recipes which is a huge feat for me.
7. Once I tried to make buckwheat noodles so Ali could have Yaki Soba. Big disaster. All of it went in the trash because it was so gross. I really shouldn't mention this. But it is the effort that truly counts.
8. Potato soup. Everyone who ate it said it was good. Liz and I rock. So there. We also made boston creme pie but that was from a box and so it doesn't count.

Look at that Dave, I made it onto two hands.
