cooking

I've spent a bit of time in the kitchen over the last couple of days. The weather has been ordinary, actually today it is appalling, so pottering and cooking and baking is a great use of time. It is especially enjoyable when you get to share what you make with the people you love. Having lived away for 20 odd years, the opportunity to cook for extended family is such a novelty. I wonder how long before it is not fun anymore, they better make the most of it while it lasts...
