We have a mouse. It is not a pet. It is not wanted. It is ignoring the traps, even the one with peanut butter. So all in all I am not feeling the love in the kitchen right now.
Here is one thing I cooked well. He stewed for 38 weeks in me.

Made in Oakland
I love to cook. I tried two new recipes this weekend. Yesterday I made samosas from the Whole Foods Cookbook. Their dough called for 6 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of water. To give you a sense of how insane this is, when I make pie dough I use 2 cups of flour and 2/3 to 1 cup of water. Their dough was tough and glutenous. The filling tasted great. They will be hearing from me. (Haha - I just searched their web site and saw an addendum for the recipe that said it should read 2 cups not 6.)The other recipe was the Brazilian Black Bean Soup from Moosewood. I soaked the beans for the allotted 4 hours and cooked them for more than the required 1 1/2 hours and they are still tough. So we got take-out tonight. I have been trying to keep the kitchen clean (cleaner than normal) because we have company..

What's your secret recipe???
We had a mouse - we may still have others, but we did catch one so far. I can feel your pain...we used a "zapper" - battery operated electrocution device in a space inaccessible to child and dog...Lola can smell the soynut butter (which is what we used in the trap)...it's driving her wild that she can't get to it!
