For anyone interested. I am now on Facebook. I have to admit, while I have been on my blogging strike, I have been there. So if you ever want to check there I have some updated pictures. But hope to be up to speed soon in my world of Journaling/Blogging.

I am officially done with cooking...

I will admit growing up I NEVER wanted to be domesticated. As I have gotten older I've really wanted to learn to cook...not just cook, but cook well. When we built our home I put a lot of time and effort into the kitchen, because someday I was going to cook and create some of the most delicious meals there. I was going to cook all of the time. Maybe I'm not patient enough, or maybe I'm just not meant to be in the kitchen. I don't really know. What I do know is this...The time and effort spent on deciding the meal, then going to the grocery store and making sure I have all of the items, then taking the time to prepare the meal (while trying to manage dealing with all the needs that the children inevitably have when I am in the kitchen)all of the work that goes into it is not worth what the results are. Which is mediocre to less than average food at best. So, mind you much time, thought, and effort has been put into this meal that is not edible in the end. I end up with a really messy kitchen, and a very hungry family. Not to mention the frustration and disappointment I feel. I really feel like cooking in my home does more harm then good. I am not a quitter, so I will not give up but I can't tell you how frustrated I am. I guess cooking class is my last option and final hope. Otherwise I will have to stick to the few items I do have down. Just thought I would share that.
