"My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations."
and
"The only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house."
She doesn't like to cook. I must have inherited that trait from her. I don't really like it either. Maybe because I never really learned how to cook. I find I take recipes too literally. My type A personality wants to follow the directions exactly, and that just doesn't work. Plus there is the planning, the shopping, the dishes. None of that is appealing to me.
Thankfully, Bernie does most of the cooking. I do try to give him a break at least a few times a week. Tonight he questioned why my cooking always seems to include an impromptu dance party. Jack and I both love the Katy Perry song, "Roar." Jack calls it the "dancing through the fire song." I put it on my iPhone and Jack and Vivi and I sang and danced around the kitchen while I attempted to prepare dinner. It makes cooking way more fun and helps keep the kids occupied.
I love music, all kinds really. I used to hate opera and country, but lately those don't seem to bother me so much. Anytime I am doing a task I'm not excited about (a long run, routine tasks at work, cooking, cleaning, etc.), I turn on the tunes and plough through. It helps keep me focused and on task.
Tonight I am thankful for music and impromptu dance parties, both of which make life (and dinner), just a little bit more interesting!
