Cooking Up a Storm

Life itself is the proper binge. ~ Julia Child

I love to cook. When I was little, because I was the oldest daughter, I often baked a cake on Saturdays. Today, I had no real plans, though a relatively long to-do list. On that list was bake muffins (give some to my kind neighbours who helped push me out of the snow bank I was stuck in yesterday) and make shepherd’s pie.

I am not a particularly artsy person, but there is something about cooking that releases my creativity. I never make anything the same way twice, and rarely do I follow a recipe. I am not always successful but nonetheless, I have fun.

I love the smell of a home filled with mouth-watering aromas. I also enjoy eating what I cook. One of the cons about my home is that I cannot really entertain, nor can I cook or bake great things. The oven is not new and I never know how to gauge baking times. The next place I move to has to have a better oven and more room to throw a party.

Peace,

Suzanne
