"Cooking is like love — it should be entered into with abandon or not at all." Julia Child

My favorite part about food is that we can recreate the things God has given us. Just think, God makes beautiful things out of dust, and we get to take those things and grind them to a powdery dust again and then combine and mix until we have a bubbling, growing mass of flesh-colored dough that, when baked, becomes crusty and chewy and beautiful again. Food is simply fantastic. 
And it is kind of a love language too! I'm not an entertainer, but I enjoy more than anything the hours I spend in a quiet kitchen preparing dinner for people I care about--even though the meal is just going to be consumed in a matter of minutes, the joy it brings to me as I prepare it, and to the people eating it, is much more than worth my time.
