I like to cook. Perhaps more accurately, I like to eat, and cooking results in food for me to eat. Better still, I'm actually a pretty good cook, which means I get to eat delicious food. Everyone wins!
Now, if I could just massage my own back my life would be complete.
But I digress.
I also like to try new recipes. "Try new recipes" is a perennial fave of mine when it comes to making New Year's resolutions. (It's in direct conflict with the also-perennial "lose some weight", but I figure this gives me a 50:50 chance of living up to at least one of my resolutions.) So I like to surf recipe websites and magazines and cookbooks, always keeping an eye out for something new. I even snagged a few promising titles from the library a couple of weeks ago.
Have I ever mentioned that DH has a bit of a food fetish?
As soon as I got those suckers home from the library, he tucked them under his arm and scuttled off to his happy place. Was gone for hours. Practically needed a smoke afterward.
But what really tipped me off was his wholesale and rather gruff rejection of the ones without pictures. Cookbooks without pictures are frowned upon in my home.
He is not, I suspect, reading them for the articles.
But then, who can blame him? The glossy full-page spreads, artfully arranged, styled and airbrushed to perfection - just look at those incredible (chicken) breasts... ooh, baby, you can almost taste those (sticky) buns... m'mm, don't you just want to dip your meat in that special sauce...
Kneading. Greasing. Grinding. Pounding! Stuffing!
Hope they don't mind a few pages stuck together. You know, from all that cooking.
