I grocery shopped till I dropped, only to be left in disappointment of not finding everything I was looking for, so then I had to figure out things to substitute. Then when I got into the groove of a really good recipe for "Citrus Walnut Pasta Salad," I saw the sink full of dishes and almost passed out. How did I make all those dishes dirty? And who is going to help me clean them up?! No one. Just me. Cleanin' solo. Don't get me wrong, the pasta salad tastes delicious (if I may say so myself), but was it really worth my time, energy, and dirty dishes?
I'm not one of those who enjoys "cooking as stress reliever" like my mother. In fact, I'm the opposite - this is probably one of the very few things where my mommy and I are opposite. I don't know how she does it. She can spend a whole day cooking and washing dishes, and cooking, and washing dishes and repeat!
I'm worn out, y'all. I thought shopping made me tired, but cooking downright wears me out! I have a million other things to do - one of which is go to the store to pick up a picture CD in preparation for my next blog post about a topic that I'm learning is near and dear to my heart. Oh yes, and there is this thing called grad school, that won't leave me alone! And work...and triathlon training which shamelessly embarrasses me when I don't get up at 5 AM to work out.
But there is nothing else I'd rather have done the past 10 minutes, than catch up my small, but faithful, VIP blog fan base. Thanks for listening to my random rant about absolutely nothing important!
Hope you had a lovely, productive, blessed day!
You are still an excellent baker! :) You do not have to be like mom all the time...most of the time is good! :) Someone has to be just like her....and you are much closer to her! :)
