You cook?

I cook half of the meals the people in this household eat, even though my mom could easily cook all of them. I love to cook and especially like to try new things. It's great for stress relief and, if I'm cooking dinner, to reflect on the day. Just yesterday I made homemade granola bars for the first time from a recipe in a cookbook my grandmother bought for me and gave me this weekend. I'm kind of sad though because it's a baking book and I don't have a stand mixer for making the doughs that 90% of the recipes call for. I'm too lazy to kneed dough for 10 minutes.

I really suck at baking sweet things, like cakes and cookies, because I haven't had much practice (hence the random gift of a baking book from my grandma). I can cook savory things like there's no tomorrow, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
