I've never really liked cooking for one. It's just so much work, if you're doing any part of it from scratch. So it's great to have a reeps, because we split the work and share the food and when I get full I can just hand my plate over and he finishes it off for me! It is pretty great.

William just came into the kitchen to find me sauteeing vegetables with a beer in my hand. "Beer before 6?" And I was all, *eyebrow of sarcastic inquisition* because William is totally an eighteen year old alcoholic, it's pretty damn hilarious, even though I fear for his tiny, tiny liver.
