The magic of cooking

The most recent chapter I pos­ted in the pod­cast was where Skim­noddle shows us his magic. So now we have a bet­ter idea of why Skim­noddle is actu­ally a use­ful fel­low, besides the cook­ing. For me, hav­ing him around to cook would be enough. I don’t like cook­ing. My fam­ily has always liked the food I make, but I don’t take any pleas­ure from it. The thing is I really like food, so I appre­ci­ate that Matt cooks. I have always cooked dur­ing the week because he was at work and of course the kids needed to eat at a reas­on­able time, and even now I cook dur­ing the week. But Matt cooks on the week­ends. He’s way bet­ter than I am and he enjoys it. So it makes for decent divi­sion of labour. There are a few things I do enjoy: I love mak­ing soup. I love mak­ing hag­gis. And I’m pretty much a geni­us with leftovers, turn­ing them into some­thing new. There’s a lot of chance for that coz we always cook with the idea of hav­ing leftovers so there’s some­thing for lunch.

Anoth­er thing I do to feel good dur­ing these crazy times is that every few days I reach out to a friend and check in. Say Hi. I want to make sure every­one’s doing ok. And by doing that I also get to have a nice chat with a friend, so it’s good for both of us.

And now after all that talk of food I am hungry, so… Gotta go!
