I look forward to the day when you have all the time in the world to share your droll wit and sarcastic wisdom with us every single day again.

I gained 20 lbs almost overnight. I finally had to tell her that I wasn't going to eat all that food anymore and I was going back to my low-carb way of eating. I hated to do it because making dinner was her contribution to our household, but I didn't want to turn into an Oompa-Loompa!Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-77355260362070869322011-10-18T19:48:07.130-07:002011-10-18T19:48:07.130-07:00Carolyn - I know that many of the foodies give the...Carolyn - I know that many of the foodies give their food away to convalescent homes or shelters, so at least it doesn't go to waste.

But I DID make some pumpkin chocolate-chip cookies last week. They came out more like the consistency of bread...and that completely bamboozled me. They scoffed them down in my office.

And, since I am cooking for one, breaking out a new recipe is even more depressing...there's no one to share it with. Thus, I will continue on my path of less-than-fabulous meals.

But, truthfully, I go back and forth in my desire & enjoyment levels when it comes to cooking. I go through phases. Sometimes I like it a lot and other times I dread it. I especially dread cooking dinner for the family in the evening. Thankfully, I married someone who enjoys getting experimental in the kitchen and is a good cook too. So, when I'm in one of my 'I don't want to cook, period.' phases, everyone still eats and I can still put those recipes to good use! :>Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572568205513606978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-36694489375542524582011-10-13T03:58:01.033-07:002011-10-13T03:58:01.033-07:00I wonder about that too, the blogs that focus sole...I wonder about that too, the blogs that focus solely on sweets and cookies. Where does it all go? I bake low carb, so for me it's a whole different matter. But I have learned to bake half-batches, but write up a recipe for full batches. That works well!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021191690448319166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567723504977931374.post-61822792102959117902011-10-12T13:57:45.988-07:002011-10-12T13:57:45.988-07:00The Old Baguette collects recipes, cookbooks, gadg...The Old Baguette collects recipes, cookbooks, gadgets and rarely cooks.

It's fun to imagine cooking all that stuff, but I don't really want to.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying the book club! It's given me opportunity to read book that I otherwise would not have chosen.

I've decided it's similar to looking at decorating magazines. I don't have to make the recipe even if it looks like I would enjoy both making it and eating it! I mainly enjoy cooking when I'm having others over to eat with us ... of if I can give it to someone (especially someone who needs it!)
