Reply to This PostI ALWAYS feel that way! There is just never enough time to cook all the wonderful foods that would be "just perfect" for every occasion! I'd be cooking 24/7 if I had the resources and energy, AND someone to eat it all.

I wish someone could clean my house while I lived in my kitchen. They laundry piles as I could so it seems. lol

Laundry breeds in the hamper in my house. Thankfully I can cook AND do laundry, or we'd never have clean clothes. :-) Happy cooking!
