February 4th #11 I love to cook--NOT!

Four days into the month of February and I have settled into a routine of sorts for working on my list. Although I am diligent about a few of the numbers, I have not fully embraced the others. Trying 60 new recipes (#52) actually requires me to cook something and that certainly is not high on the list of things I love to do. I knew some goals could possibly present a challenge for me; why would I do this if not to better myself?

Since Rob loves being the gourmet chef, I have been sitting on my hands and watching him instead of taking over the kitchen. It seems so much easier to let him sizzle, fry, or mash away than for me to measure, stir, and create a scrumptious dish that will be eaten within ten minutes--or thrown away (see the above sentences about my culinary skills.)

With 48 weeks to go, I need to step up and take action soon or I will be madly cooking up a storm the last few weeks of December. Today will be the day I will seize the kitchen! Oh wait, Rob has already begun the meal and I hate stopping a creative cook in action. There is always tomorrow--besides, a book is calling my name and that is truly # 1 on my list.
