MAKE

December 6 – Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? (Author: Gretchen Rubin)


The last thing I made was Thumbprint Cookies.  It was something I've never made before, but found a recipe and it was incredibly easy.  I love to cook, but I do not like to bake.  I think baking is too restrictive, having to measure things out.  I prefer to cook dishes where I can add a pinch of this, and a smidgen of that.  Which my husband hates, because he says he can never follow my recipes! I can be creative in other ways too, but the most regular way that I express my creativity is through my cooking.  I grew up in a family food business, my father still owns a restaurant, and my mother was a very good cook.  I ate things as a child that most don't.  I still eat in a way that allows me to appreciate good, quality food.  I know that not everyone likes to cook, but who doesn't like to eat.  So I take great pleasure in creating delicious, and most of the time healthy food for others and myself to enjoy.
