My mom is a fabulous cook. Everyone always talks about how wonderful her cooking is. But when we were little, we wouldn't eat anything she made. We were happiest when she made pancakes or hotdogs, and it was best of all when she just ordered pizza. Kids are picky little boogers.
Most of her meals take me 45 min to and hour. And she doesn't account for shopping and clean up time. What I tend to do is surf through for the main dish recipes that look easiest--the ones where I actually BELIEVE it'll only take 30 min--and make one of those, then for the side I'll just do something like plain old broccoli. Doing her whole meals usually just take too long.
A few of her things that I've tried have been bland, but most have been really really delicious. Maybe I'll do a post on it and share the recipes that've worked for me. I love cooking. I suck at it, really, but I perservere.
Victor/Victoria is awesome. I can't watch the scene with the cockroach, though. I love how Julie looks in a suit with her hair slicked back. I just like Sound of Music better because I'm such a sap. Oh, and a young Christopher Plummer is hot stuff.
