My triumphant return to the stove: Chicken Piccata with Parmesan Couscous

I cooked again! And the weird thing was I remembered where all the tools were :P Although initially it was like calling the doctor to make an annual check-up appointment, even though you haven’t been in four years… or maybe even like pulling teeth pre-Novocain… or maybe even going to work without coffee (the worst of all  three!) … But once I got over that initial hump of “holy crap, how do I do this?” … it was GREAT! I forgot that cooking isn’t a chore with the right foods, some good tunes and maybe a glass of wine (or two) – but rather it’s really enjoyable and fun! And the best part, by far, is putting that creation on the table and seeing someone’s face when they take the first bite.
