Food - Making use of my Cookbooks.
When it comes to maneuvering in the kitchen..ya girl is nice with the pots and pans. I enjoy cooking for large crowds and and during the holidays. It's funny, because my family knows that when I'm in the kitchen, no one is allowed to help me. And in the off chance I do ask for help, I don't know how to let go and let them take control (can we say OCD). I guess you have to enjoy cooking to understand. I like things done a certain way or I want to use certain ingredients...it's a process, I know. Having the satisfaction of seeing everyone's face of delight does something to me. For a while, I was in a slump and everyday cooking was starting to bore me. Lately, however, I have been in the mood to experiment with cooking. I have tons of cookbooks, but I hardly open them. What's the use of having a cookbook if you're not going to use it? Is it there to collect dust or be a pretty adornment sitting on your bookshelf? So I picked up one of my books, wiped the dust...
