Cooking In January

When I set out with this personal challenge I was very apprehensive about finding the time to cook. I now know the time is there but I need to organize my days better. I still have not taken Sunday for a planning day which I think is necessary to make this a successful cooking year. Things I learned so far.

1. Making dinner 5 days a week is not fun.
2. Planning in advance is the key.
3. Making dinner for a friend makes cooking more fun.
4. I have a lot more respect for my mom who made it look so easy.
5. When I am in the middle of cooking I still enjoy it.

Hi Pat, this is Karen ("ke_peace"). I met Janice Black at the Poor Richards open poetry mic night. I read your bio- wow! another Kate Bush fan! If you ever want to delve more into Asian cooking (including Indian) Charmaine Solomon's The Complete Asian Cookbook is very very good (and has mouth-watering full-page color photos of many dishes laid out in a way that would please the artist in you.

Thanks Karen,
I definately need to go to the next open poetry night. The cookbook sounds like one I will definately check out. I need inspiration this month!
