I have recently discovered that creating meals is much more fun with a partner. Having manfriend around to cook with makes me want to create new meals. Perhaps it’s his manly beard or big strong hands that allow me to have such desires. This means that when something needs a good stir I never have to worry about getting carpal tunnel because I can pawn the duty off onto him.
Even on “simple” meal days, I feel like I am eating Jabba the Hutts meal. One– because he was a ruler..and two–because he was a fat lard that probably ate a lot of really good food. Something like this..
Lettuce wraps, potatoes, and a side of vegetarian chili.
or this..
Basmati rice with peppers and carrots. Brussels and romanesco broccoli, and more potatoes.
and maybe even this…
Homemade eggplant lasagna, beets, brussels, butternut squash.
Two foodies in the kitchen means a good meal is in the works.
I have started running again to prepare for my first 5k in December. I realized it might be a good idea to run a bit before the “race,” otherwise I will be the wheezing out of shape girl with the white hands due to blood loss. A couple miles a day will do the trick. I have also been playing Pablo Picasso and creating masterpieces.
These leaves were collected on a walk specifically to make art with. I am unsure on whether I want to keep the leaves sticking out of the sides, or put the black sliders on the side like the ones on the top and bottom. I don’t think I like the look of the leaves cut off, but I don’t know if it looks tacky without sides? Opinions please!
Q: Cooking alone or with other people?
Keep the leaves! I think it looks good like that
I’m running my first 5k on Thanksgiving. I have kept up with my running but have never run a race is that weird?! Definitely cook with someone else! It’s so much more fun and less work hah.
I like the leaves the way they are! Super cool my friend
Hey and I wouldn’t mind being jabba the hut if it meant noshing on all these glorious eats, you’re a food combo genius!
Fall leaves are so pretty! Your piece of artwork looks good the way it is
Good luck with training for your 5k. Cooking with other people is so much more fun + less work!
I like the leaves how they are! So pretty
Ehh I suppose running a few miles might be helpful hehe Good luck with your training, you are going to feel fantastic after running that race…you’re going to be hooked!
I have yet to sign up for a 5k.
I think you should put the black sides on. it’ll look more put together!! and no dust will get in.
Cooking alone but sharing with other people is my way to go
I just started running again too!
Pretty leaves! I like cooking alone, but I really like company in the kitchen. I’m like, Come talk to me but stay outta’ my way!
It all depends on what mood I am in…some days cooking is me time, other days I want the help! lol
Whoa, you guys have been getting busy! (in the kitchen!)
And I love the leaves…I think you should leave the sides sticking out, it makes it look much more interesting!
I love cooking with another person…but baking is something I can NOT do with someone else. It stresses me out, haha
I love your masterpiece! I used to love doing arts and crafts! I don’t think it looks tacky with the leaves sticking out of the sides. They may end up curling as the leaves dry out though, and then start breaking off by mistake? All those eats look great!
such pretty leaves! when i was little i had a leave book
i find it enjoyable to cook by myself… unless it’s a big kitchen it can get crowded easily if you know what i mean! ..or maybe i am just a control freak, haha.
Pretty leaves!
Good question- I love cooking with my fiance, but sometimes I need to kick him out of the kitchen to get things done fast and accurately!
The leaves look great! And so many delicious eats, girl!
cooking with a partner is alwaaaaaaaaaaaays double the fun. I am so glad you have remained well-fed and in good company. What more is there to life?
Good luck with your 5k training. I love your leaf art! Personally, I like the sticking out tips of the leaves, it adds a little dimension and makes it not an everyday lookin’ piece of art. I like having the black sliders on the top and bottom though…. so leaf it how it is!!!! (leaf- get it? like leave. never mind. i almost hit 3 deer on my way to work today so i am a little shaky and kooky at the moment).
Fact: I make Lumberjack always grab the cookie sheet from the stove b/c I have a fear of getting burned. Man hands are not only hunky but very durable in any scenario.
How exciting that you’re training for your first 5k! What a great time to run it too..the weather should be quite nice since it’s still so warm!
I definitely agree that cooking with another person is way more fun. I get lonely cooking by myself..especially dinner…so it’s always fun to have someone to prepare it with!
Gosh dang I need to find me a manfriend who enjoys cooking! Love the leaf art how it is but the edges might break off if you dont put the black edges on!
I love cooking with my boyfriend. The time just goes by faster and it’s just more fun. Love the leaf art. It’s so pretty and creative!
Aw I love your pretty little leaf art! So festive
I LOVE cooking with my boyfriend. He’s a chef, and he always shows me up…
YUM! I agree, two foodies are much better than one in the kitchen! I love just grabbing whatever is in my fridge and making something awesome! I think I can only be friends with fellow foodies haha
I love your leaf collection!
I actually love cooking alone. Its kind of like “me” time you know? It allows me to just do what I want and be at peace with no cars honking at me or co-workers yelling at me. My hubby always tries to help and I just yell at him to get out lol he always ends up burning things anyway!
I’m jealous. I want a man friend to cook with. I love cooking with other people. It is so much fun. Next year my roomie is vegan and a nutrition major so we are going to have some fun times making food together.
I really like cooking alone for other people!
Cooking with people makes things go faster, and you get to eat the food sooner!!
