I find it relaxing to cook.

It’s not even so much that it’s healthier or better, it is also CHEAPER.

If I tried to get the same meal in a restaurant, I am sure that it would cost me three times as much, and be of a lesser quality.

I also get a huge sense of satisfaction from getting a big hearty plate of something that *I* made, and relishing in its taste.

Love your point of view, Jason. All those fancy sauces dribbled artistically on your plate at fancy restaurants? That’s just professional scribbling. My husband rolls his eyes every time I put the mustard on his sandwich in the shape of a “B,” but I just can’t resist…

I think the idea of “making the plate look good” is what I’ve been having the most fun with lately. Maybe I’ve been watching too much Hell’s Kitchen and Food Network, but I’ve finally figured out that you don’t have to be some hoity toity chef to have fun with presentation. As adults, we get so caught up in being afraid to do it “wrong,” we don’t even try. Even if you’re just arranging your bacon and eggs into a smiley face, a little fun goes a long way — for the cook and the “eaters.”
