I made dinner.
Ok, it's nothing fancy, some braised chicken (that sounds fancy, but isn't), cous cous from a box, and Birdseye steamed vegetables. You know what though? It tasted pretty good, it was quick and easy, and it made me feel better to take care of my family in a healthy way. I love to cook, I love to spend hours in the kitchen creating things that don't quite fit into any recipe box...a little of this, a little of that. I am even growing to like challenging myself with baking (my nemesis, because you CAN'T do a little of this and a little of that. It's exact. Like math. Bleh.) But tonight, after a longer than I care to admit hiatus, it felt good to just make something I could probably do in my sleep, that I didn't have to measure anything for (even the cous cous, I just eyeballed it), and that is just comforting. I feel accomplished (probably more than I should, actually) and that is lifting my spirits.
Enjoy your dinner.

Yay for kitchen time. Maybe it was something in the air? I spent all evening in my kitchen tonight, too.
Dearest Kami-
I miss you too! (That meal looks so yummy by the way!) I don't know where I have been- or where (or when) my thoughts have been- I have been a bad friend and bad to myself!!! :) I will write soon though, I promise! And hopefully I will see you three soon??
