My mom NEVER cooked I taught myself probably had every damn cookbook ever published until the internet happened!! I LOVE TO COOK, I also LOVE cleaning as I go along for some ODD reason it relaxes me I enjoy it so much!!
I’m the oldest so I learned to cook when I was in the 4th grade. My parents were out in the garden and were getting in late so I was starving (haa!). Mother said I needed to get cooking. By 5th grade I was cutting up a fryer and making fried chicken! My dad’s mom was a fabulous cook. Czech. Kolaches, cinnamon rolls, pies, cookies, fresh bread every week!!
I like eating out...but like to cook too. What I LOVE about the internet is you can now cook and it tastes like a fancy restaurant so it makes it more fun for me. The only thing I don’t like is having to make the menu all the time. Hubby eats anything, which I am blessed, but has no favorites.
Like you, I love to clean! Drives some of my friends with maids crazy! Actually I also help a friend at times clean their B&B for mad money!!! That really drives them crazy!! I enjoy the workout. I also mow the yard! Some is with a riding mower, the rest is easier with a push mower as it has lots of plantings and I don’t want to throw rocks through the windows, haa! The push mower is not self propelled as I like to back up with it in places. Had to rig it because the lawyers don’t like that as one person probably lost a toe not paying attention...!!! If I didn’t do these things I would be yuge, but like you, they are relaxing!
Cheers!!
