I know that I am … I think. The problem with normality is that no one truly knows what normal is. Being normal has to be specified to a person based on their personality. Everyone cannot be normal. If everyone was normal, we’d all be the same and that wouldn’t be munch fun.

Anyways … I ask this because of what I’m doing right now. Going to college is normal … ok I get that. Looking for a job is normal too. Wanting to be like Martha Stewart or a Stepford wife … is that normal?

I am currently living with my fiancee and I just want to be and do everything that a hose wife would have done in the 1940′s. I want to sew, embroider, make pies, have dinner ready when he comes home from work, you know … the usual.

I feel like this is what i should be doing. I don’t know if it’s because of my personality or if it’s because we’re finally living together. I have no idea what’s  on.

I have became more confident in my cooking abilities. I used to burn water. Yup, that’s right, BURN WATER. Now, I don’t. Lately I have mastered Hamburgers. Yeah, I know it’s easy to make but going from burning water to  making some yummy hamburgers, you’d be proud too.

On mother’s day I actually surprised myself … and no, I am not a mother (I wish I was tho). I made dinner for Grandma, aunt, fiancee and myself. It was GOOD !! I didn’t realize that water takes over an hour to boil though. I did realize that 2 handfuls of spaghetti from me wasn’t near enough to feed 4 people, but chicken is filling so it worked out.

Instructions are so:

- boil water in pot for Spaghetti, add noodles when water boiling

- Preheat Oven to 450

- Gather thawed chicken (breast or tenderloins is fine… I used tenderloins) wash and put on cutting board and cut into chunks.

- Gather flour, salt, pepper on shallow plate.

- Combine 2 eggs with 1 table spoon water in a wide bowl, beat until frothy.

- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat in large skillet

- lightly dredge both sides of chicken cutlets in seasoned flour and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely (or vice versa).

- add cutlets to oil when it’s hot.

- fry for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown

- drain water from pot with cooked noodles, put noodles in  an oven safe container

- add tomato sauce to noodles, then the chicken chunks. Mix in together.

- Top with Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese

- place in oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly (ours only took 10 minutes).

- Enjoy

… p.s. Clean up is NOT fun…

Worth it though especially if someone close to you is not going to be here anymore in a few months.
