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.
