The fun of cooking

Why is cooking so theraputic? I was stressed to the max and suddenly decided, out of the blue, that i wanted to cook a three course meal for my family. So I pulled out the cookbook I got mum for Christmas and made a massive pot of pumkin, coconut and ginger soup, followed by chicken snitzel with lilipili chili relish on top and parmisan mashed potato, braised red cabbage with apple and bacon on the side.
Basically, i got to hack up a couple of pumpkins, beat four chicken breasts into submission and mash a ton of potatos. See? Theraputic.
If you want to work out stress and take your mind off something, cook. Then, guilt those who you cooked for to do the cleaning up. ;P See? I'm full of flash ideas.

you're right, sounds incredibly theraputic!
now, i dont mind baking the occasional cake, but honestly a three course meal is too much logistics for me to bother with, and we never have the ingredients to begin with, and cant be bothered telling mum to head down to the shops to buy stuff for me :P

still, cooking is fun, glad you enjoyed it, probably glad that you're not making it every night, right?

oh, and i can never remember what my username/password combo is, so whenever i try and leave you a message, it takes me 10 minutes to post it lol

oh and the cheeky quote atm is this:
Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.

take it how you will
