Cooking Does Great Things

Dinner with Husband

One of the most amazing things that I have actually got from getting rheumatoid arthritis and being forced to work less has been the time I now have with Adam to cook.  We may have been cooks in another life or something of that nature, but I do know this.... it is so enjoyable to cook with him and I even though we walk away with burns and the kitchen looks like the battle of Ypres took place in it.... its all worth it (the hours of cleanup that is).

We spend extra money on insane ingredients and odd kitchen gadgets (we are currently using the heck out of our flavor shaker) and of course... cookbooks (right now we are doing recipes out of Ad Hoc At Home which is an amazing book by Thomas Keller.  

Tonight we had... peppercorn fillets with fresh creamed corn and an amazing horseradish and balsamic vinaigrette cream sauce with pineapple upside down cake.  While I wont be hungry for days.... I am stuffed, happy, and just in a good place.  
If you have free time with the one you life, try spending it in the kitchen together, its amazing fun.
