"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing. It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure: it has a mathematical certainty in a world where those of us who long for some kind of certainty are forced to settle for crossword puzzles."
Nora Ephron
Food calms us, as does cooking in my book.
ReplyDeleteCooking is definitely my stress reliever.
DeleteI miss cooking
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you do Kim. Big hugs.
DeleteCooking is something I do without really thinking so it is a mind clearer most of the time for me.
ReplyDeleteSame here. After a long day I enjoy relaxing while making dinner.
DeleteNow I want something with gravy, lots of it. I've been really trying to cook more this month as it seems the one place in my life I have some semblance of control.
ReplyDeleteRight? It is my time to relax and destress after work.
DeleteI cook nearly every day. Once in a while I tell Mark he's on his own. Baking bread relaxes me.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
ReplyDeleteNot sauce or gravy, but right now I have banana bread going in the oven.
