...delicious...
So I'll write a little something a little early in comparison to every other day before today. But for now, I have time, so I will tell you what I am thankful for. I am thankful for some ability to cook. For me, cooking is in some ways a stress reliever. I don't mind spending 2 hours cooking dinner after working all day long (at least not most nights), and in fact, I usually enjoy it. Cooking is therapeutic for in some way. And so, I say I am thankful for at least some ability to cook because if I couldn't cook and enjoyed it this much, life might not be so enjoyable (though one could also argue I might not enjoy it so much, either! hehe). So tonight, after making bacon and eggs for dinner, I think about how much cooking (or actually baking) I will be doing in the next few weeks, and how much cooking I'd like to do. It makes me smile. Cakes, pies, cookies-I can't wait. I'd also like to get some fudge in there. And hopefully I'll be cooking more dinner-and possibly a thanksgiving dinner... maybe. It makes me happy. The only thing I worry about is not having enough time all at once to actually get everything done in :-)

Hello Jess,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to write to say thanks for posting your site on the UMBC page. I have enjoyed reading some of them. Hope that you keep up the good words and good work. I also write. I have written and sung since age 3. Thanks again for sharing. I would also like to share my site with you.

I have to agree with you in the cooking. It is a stress reliever. However, not so much if Jacob is running around but if he's at school or Ron takes him out I do enjoy putting the music on, maybe a glass of wine (if after 12pm lol) and preparing dinner or just baking breads. I sometimes find myself baking something easy after everyone goes to bed, even if its cookie mix where you add egg and water. Try to use some instant things for your turkey dinner but add to it to make it more tasty. For example I use instant stuffing but throw in sausage, nobody knows... ok, now they do. Semi Homemade, I learned some things from that Sandra Dee.
