I like it. I remember working from 4 PM to 4 AM everyday for almost 10 years; we got off early a few times, but I didn't have time to cook. Then when that job was over, George looked at me one day and said, "Let me take you somewhere you haven't been in a while." Thinking I was going somewhere special, he showed me the kitchen, and I haven't left it yet. In fact, last night I made steak, corn on the cob, potato salad and my version of broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, garlic and onions cooked in a beef boullion. He couldn't stop bragging about how good it was. KUDOS to me.
Most woke people would find it insulting to have George send you to the kitchen, but I get he knew how fulfilling cooking is for you.
Yesterday I was craving a spinach gratin which is not especially appealing to Anne. Then she took some for lunch and liked it so much she took some again for today’s lunch.🥳💐
Wow. They say your 'taste buds' change as you get older. Sometimes people say they don't like something without having tried it. I on the other hand have always loved spinach as I grew up watching Popeye. Kek! So now that you know Anne likes it, you can make it more often and make a double batch.
Sounds delicious. I’m curious when you say lard because I know in French it means something similar to American bacon. And, for us it means a cooking fat rendered from pork, I think the French word for that is saindoux.
They totally do change; I got my parents to try things they'd eschewed for years because they didn't like them. They find they now loved them! Also they found that since things they'd always liked a lot didn't taste good to them anymore. They could not say the flavors had changed, but the amount they liked them did. We use that as well example to the kids, so that they'll try stuff and then try stuff again a year or two later, because taste buds change. Olives and avocado got added to the kids menu recently...
Agree most woke women would find it insulting. I love to cook as well and consider it a compliment when my husband requested me to cook something for him. He likes my cooking.
I appreciate that - I truly enjoyed cooking homemade, baking homemade - and I loved watching my family and friends enjoy what I had made. Physically, I can't do it anymore. I miss it. I try to do smaller, easier versions but it's not quite the same lol.

That’s an easy one:
Cook until you cannot resist neither the smell nor the sight of the crusty cheese layer.😋💐
Wow. I will have to save this one too. Thanks.
Now that sounds so good.

Dang, I’m hungry! 😋

Good for the kids. Mine won't eat squash or zucchini, but I believe that just like I was as a child, I too grew up to like them.

But at least you try and keep your hand in the kitchen. For 10 years I only got in the kitchen during the holidays when I had time off from work. Kek!
Lordy!! I'm glad you went back to one of your passions.
Thank you. It was like I had to teach myself how to cook all over again, but it was worth it.
I don't remember getting invited for that meal, sounds good. ;-)
I'm so sorry. My table always has a spare seat and extra plate.
