Cookery

Ever since acquiring the fantastic cookbook by Nigella Lawson, I have been cooking up a storm, drawing up a weekly menu of delicious dinners of exotic materials I've never before cooked with: lamb chops, salmon, pork. Ha.   Cooking has of all things become NORMAL.  I just do it.  :)  Very pleased.  A very nice side effect of the very slow market.

Well, having a dishwasher definitely helps when dealing with the mess of cooking. I think if i had to handwash and dry all of the utensils and china I use while cooking I would definitely hesitate to get started, or to make something very involved.

Also? You have a teeny kitchen. I think it's totally admirable that you make real meals in that little space. I'm too clumsy - I'd constantly set fire to my clothes. I can really spread out in mine.

But all that aside - I always love shoving my hands into something gooey or slippery. When my mom makes kimchi at home it's my job to pack in all the spices between the cabbage leaves, because I love getting my hands all filthy with it. Haha. I loved fingerpainting, clay both wet and dry, and I was much better at those things than the 'clean' arts, like origami.
