Iron Chef Chesterfield

I'm currently laying in the bed fresh out the shower and watching a movie. This Christmas to be exact. J just finished the dishes and is yelling at me from the shower nonsense about how bad she's going to beat me in our next challenge.

Tonight we had an Iron Chef type challenge in my kitchen and well, I won. We've been debating who is the better cook and well, let me just say that I put my foot in the quick meal we had tonight.

Because we both seem to love watching the food network, we thought an Iron Chef type challenge would be fun.

Baked tilapia, loaded baked taters, corn, and some asparagus. She claimed to not like asparagus but her stomach seemed to vacuum it up lol. She made the same things minus the green monsters as she calls them, but in different ways.

I baked my tilapia with lemon pepper and lemon slices. She just baked hers with salt and pepper. I baked potatoes with sour cream, cheese, chives, butter, and bacon bits. She made baked potatoes. We both made our corn on the cob the same way, and then I made asparagus.

We made Christmas cookies together because she's not a baker. That was interesting. After we ate we came to the unanimous decision that she lost. And had to wash dishes. Sucks for her because they all didn't fit in my dishwasher.

It's safe to say she should stick to breakfast because ummm, well it wasn't that good. She did try though and I give her that. She pours a mean glass of wine too.

She's out the shower now, still fussing about losing. Told me to get off the computer, but she lost so I'm going to do what I want.

Anywho, it was fun. I laughed, a lot, which is something I'm trying to do more often. Well, I'm going to get back to my movie and my screamer. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Today was a good day.

  1. What a cute challenge. I think I should try this with my friend who claims she is the better cook!!!
    And now you have made me want to watch This Christmas. I will do that after I cook dinner, and sprawl out on the couch stuffed. :-)

  3. Even though I know the outcome, I might try this. I believe I am the stronger cook out of the relationship, but I think it would be a fun and playful bonding experience.

    I love that the two of you are finding creative ways like this to share in your common interests!
