Slow Cooking



June 14, 2020


My daughter is an excellent cook. I taught her the basics, but she can cook way better than I ever will.

I think that it’s partly because she takes her time. For me, cooking is something to be gotten through as quickly as possible. But she enjoys it; so she doesn’t stir the sauce briskly, or beat the heck out of stuff trying to get it done in as little time as possible. This can drive a hungry person crazy, but the result is always worth the wait.

I’m trying that, now that I have so much more time. It seems to work. I’m still not as good a cook as she is, but I think that taking the time to let the food cook slowly and come to fruition really makes a difference.

Commercials say that Love is the secret ingredient. Maybe. But Time helps, too.
