...food makes people happy

have i ever mentioned...i love to cook?
i really do.
i think it's fun.
i like the measuring, pouring, stirring, mixing, etc.
i like getting my hands dirty (except for handling chicken...that kinda grosses me out)
i like smelling it while it cooks.
i like the watching it bake or boil or saute.

but most of all, i like the sharing it with other people part.
i like to see someone smile.
i like to watch someone enjoying something that i worked to prepare.

do i think i am a great cook? - absolutely not.
i do not follow recipes ...
i do not measure right ...
i skip some ingredients or substitute whenever i want to.
and, sometimes it does NOT work out, but that's ok.

food makes people happy - which makes me happy...so, it's really all about me! :-)

i made these things for work today, and i loved sharing it.

Wake-Up-Casserole
...i didn't have dry mustard, so i used dijon. whatever, it was good!

Banana-Peanut-Butter-Bread
...i don't like crunchy PB, and i didn't have walnuts - do you think anyone noticed?

Sausage-Pinwheels
...i've made these often, very often. they are CHEAP and GOOD. i have never put chives in it. and, it is always a hit.

i love to cook.
...any requests? :-)

ps - high cholesterol issues...i think the doctor is going to take me off cheese - and i LOVE cheese. dang it. we'll see next week!
