Food.

Sam often jokes he does a lot of washing up on weekends where I'm house-bound, as I like to cook on days in.

I'm not a fancy or accomplished cook, by any means. I take lots of short cuts and can never be bothered measuring anything properly, but I do enjoy the process of cooking, especially when its raining outside and there's something good on TV. I am looking forward to baking with my kids one day, if God blesses us with kidlets. I think that would be fun.

I also enjoy budgeting for our meals every week. I really enjoy working out which dishes to cook, what foods to buy, how I can make sure we get heaps of vegetables and fresh ingredients without having to buy overpriced "organic" stuff. Is that weird? I think I enjoy it because it reminds me of a logic puzzle, the kind with heaps of pieces you have to make fit together. I like that. There's something soothing about a grocery shopping list that comes under budget, yet provides nice meals. It's tidy and neat, so it makes me feel good.

This weekend I baked lemon and poppy-seed muffins, brownies and I have a shepherd's pie baking (we are unexpectedly home early from church!), waiting to be eaten.
