I do find cooking mindlessly creative and relaxing. I always have. But then I'm either cooking for myself or for both dearie and I. I even sometimes like the hunt at the grocery store, since sometimes I shop at ethnic supermarkets/stores ...Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Middle Eastern. I don't consider grocery shopping totally boring..it's like seeing things differently ...to me.

I do now try to eat before 7:00 pm or earlier. It helps that I live close to work..a 20 min. bike ride away. That helps with managing my weight..by not eating supper too late.
