Who's up for a bit of fun and a little learning?

Most of you in here have been around for a bit, and you've learned to shop "the ring around the carbs", learned to read labels and shop smart, and are probably buying food items that have never been in your fridge or pantry before. If you are like me, you may have brought something home, stared at it, and wondered how the heck to cook it. So...

The assignment is to mosey on over to the recipe section, to your favorite LC cookbook, or to you wild imagination, and cook up something that you haven't tried before. You can do something as simple as trying a new vegetable or meat, or trying to cook an old standby in a new way. It doesn't necessarily need to be something complicated. Frying up a brand new veggie is a victory in itself. Trying a whole new recipe is also a victory.

When you are done, pop back into this thread, tell us what food item it was, and give us a quicky description of what you did with it. If you invented a new LC recipe, please post it in the recipe section instead of posting it in here, so it will be saved with all the other LC goodies invented by our members.

On your mark, get set, GO.......

(and for those of you who are daring enough to participate, there will be a special reward in your journal)
