First day I didnt have work, first day I cooked dinner for the fam.

I made dinner for my family tonight! I made burgers out of raw meat with all sorts of stuff like worchestershire sauce and montreal seasoning. I made 7 patties but I only ended up cooking 6 of them (il eat the other one before work tomorrow). It took me about 30 minutes to make the entire meal. I also made baked beans and I made home fries out of a few baked potatoes. My dad pre-baked the potatos today when I was at school so all I had to do was season them with salt and pepper and cook them in a saute pan with a little bit of butter and some onion I chopped (I cried okay... Sue me). I also made some cole slaw this morning following a recipe by wolfgang puck. I bought the actual lettuce and cabbage and the bulk of the side dish in a bag. All I had to do was make the liquid portion (is that the cole? Or the slaw?) out of mayo, a bit of ranch dressing, and small amounts of a few other ingredients like lemon juice and salt. I'd say the dinner was a success! My sister didn't even realize that I made it, since she assumed that my parents made the daily dinner like always. That was quite the compliment considering my dad has been cooking for 40 years! I took some pretty good pictures with my dads camera, as well as this picture of the burgers with my cell phone. Tomorrow I am making a polish meal! Check the blog tomorrow for the whole scoop
