I Say Piccata

I've been a bit negligent in the kitchen lately. I haven't been diligent about trying new recipes and that doesn't bode well for becoming an accomplished chef (or even a competent cook). So, to make up for my lassitude, I am attempting three new recipes in one week.

First, I will try an asparagus pasta complete with sun-dried tomatoes and orange peppers (add two more items to the list of vegetables I have never purchased before).

Second, I will make a lemon-chicken piccata. I have no idea what a piccata is, but it sounds quite advanced. I like the way the word rolls off my tongue, too. Piccata.

Third, I will test-drive a recipe for home-made pizza. This one isn't really a stretch for me, because we make pizza often, using our bread maker. This time, however, I will be making the dough without the aid of any equipment. Just thinking about it makes me feel a bit more domestic.
