Dear brain

Please shut up. I need to sleep. What you are doing is half drifting into an intimate dream about people I should not be dreaming about which keeps me awake. Stop that.

Cooking

I love cooking.  Every two weeks I get to do this awesome dinner for thirty or fourty people.  All I do is put love and care into fairly simple things, make them from scratch instead of premixes, and everyone loves it.  There is something great about seeing people enjoy a meal with friends and just having a good time.
