In general it is no secret that I am not a fan of cooking. When I was about 12 I determined that I would find a man who would cook for me.
Post college I found friends who cooked for me and managed to convince most that I could not cook at all.
When I was in Japan and decided for sanity-sake to quit working full-time (sound familiar?!) I figured I should probably give my ex a break and do the cooking since I was home all day.
It was then that the truth came out that I can cook – just I don’t like it.
So when I met M, he was a gem in that he likes cooking, does it fast and pretty well. Although I no longer claim I cannot cook, I do quickly admit it is not my favorite past time nor a role anyone should assign to me as default.
Still, I do occasionally enjoy being domestic and spend some time making treats or nice meals. It is usually during the holidays or vacation periods that I get in touch with my domestic goddess. 
This was a turkey pie I made with leftover turkey bits
after having boiled down the carcass from our Boxing Day dinner. We now have some great broth as well as loads of turkey that wouldn’t have gotten eaten otherwise.
I do enjoy baking. So I made pumpkin pie with pastry from scratch as was the pastry in the turkey pie above.
With the cookies 
and other kitchen activities I have now spent more time cooking in the past few days than I did all year.
Although I might ponder
the idea of a food blog especially with healthy diets, I know that when I hear the successful bloggers spend every day in the kitchen, this is not going to be me.
So, for now M is enjoying a bit of a break from his chef duties
and I shall ride the domestication wave 
while it lasts – which I imagine is just a few more days (optimistically) to go….
