Friday was “ladies night out,” a time where my wife gets together with her girlfriends for dinner, drinks and to complain about how bad every guy is. You would think that would be a good thing, some alone time with ESPN and my Xbox. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy the peace and quiet, but the thing I do miss on those nights is a good home cooked meal.

Most of my culinary experience comes in the form of removing the plastic covering, setting the timer on the microwave and enjoying a reheated, processed meal. After watching an episode of Iron Chef, I decided tonight would be different – I wanted to try actually cooking my meal from scratch.

Luckily with the help from Supercook.com, a recipe aggregator with snazzy Web 2.0 features like predictive search and advanced filtering, I was able to enter what I had lying around the house, and it suggested a great sweet and spicy baked chicken that looked and tasted great. Now if only I can find a site that can help me with the dishes.
