There is a Middle Eastern store near here, and it is amazing to see all of the different types of spices and grains that they have. They have pickled everything (even shark!) I really want to make a curry now.

I don't mind the cooking most of the time except when I am starving! Sometimes, we lose track of time or we are working so we can't start a meal when we need to. Always good to have food on hand that you can whip up at a moment's notice.

One thing I really hate about cooking is the clean up! If I could get rid of that, then things would be a little easier. Then I wouldn't have to bribe someone else to do the dishes when I don't want to do them.

I love cooking! I would much rather eat a home-cooked meal any day over something that was already cooked. I am trying to make healthier meals too. I have found a ton of recipes online.

You are so right! I want the dish fairy to make an appearance in my kitchen right now, as a matter of fact. If she's not available, I would gladly take the laundry fairy, too!

Amen, Squishy. I would welcome an entire army of housework fairies any day of the week. It’s a shame they don't exist out of stories and movies!

I like to cook, but I don't feel like I am particularly skilled at it. Mostly I am just in too much of a hurry to do the research, prep, cooking and cleaning, so I end up making the same things over and over.
