Chopping, mincing, measuring.
Today was the first weekday in five weeks that I arrived at home before 7:30.
I love to cook, but when it's 8:00, leftover casseroles, a fish filet of some kind, or homemade pizza from refrigerator dough is about all I can manage.
But cooking creatively is one of the household chores I miss when I don't have time. Finding g a recipe, choosing ingredients, tweaking g to suit our tastes--it's all fun for me.
Today was all about my version of Smitten Kitchen's Wild Rice and Broccoli casserole.
It was not a great day at school--the adults are frustrating me once again--and I got distracted. while cooking.
However, much like with a lesson that's not going well in the classroom , I know how to punt in the kitchen.
Somehow, creating in the kitchen makes me feel like I have more control over aspects of my life. I think it might have to do with my nurturing side and caring for the people I love with food.
