When I up down and touch the ground
It puts me in the mood
Up down and touch the ground
In the mood for food
Actually, the mood for cooking has struck. I have a bad case of it. I’ve no idea why. I never was big into cooking at all, and haven’t done it but maybe twice in the last 5 years. Yes, I’ve been a victim of kitchen abuse more than once, so it’s not so odd that cooking hasn’t been high on my list of things to do. Nuculating (aka microwaving) fine. Applying heat to anything that didn’t come in a microwave pouch or wielding a knife in the general direction of a vegetable, not so fine. Yet starting the end of last week, I’ve wanted to cook. Luckily, in spite of not being much into cooking for years, I’m good at it when I do it.
I’ve made dinner every evening for my mother and I. Nothing fancy. I have meal plans for every night this week. I rearranged the kitchen cabinets and drawers and counter tops so I can find things to cook with and have a place to do it. I’m so exhausted physically I can hardly keep my head up* yet I must cook. And when I’m not cooking, I must be finding recipes, fixing up the kitchen, finding creative food ideas for meal plans, and so on. Maybe I cooked my brain somewhere, because this is a bit nuts.
At least this bad case of cooking won’t make me fat. I almost never overeat my own cooking. It just doesn’t appeal to me enough for that after I’ve bothered cooking it. Mental problem, no doubt, since other folks snarf it down. I’m a little concerned, though about my sudden desire for a decent wooden spoon and a mesh splatter cover for the fry pan. That may be going a bit overboard.
I went to doc Thursday about this stupid cough I’ve had for 3 weeks and he said I had asthmatic bronchitis, but no infection. The prednisone I was given for the asthmatic bronchitis lowered my immune system and now I have a bronchial infection too. Could this cause the bad case of cooking, aka weird project hypomania? No doubt something is, since I also can hardly sleep and can’t shut my mind off. When I get sick with anything, my mood and energy go for a ride. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

Enjoy your productive cooking period. I wish I could go through a period like that … I hate cooking!
Lauras last blog post..Meaningless Rambling #1005
LOL Thanks Laura. I hate cooking too. That’s what’s so weird about it.
I’ve become short-term obsessed with many weird projects but I can honestly say that cooking never has and probably never will be one of them. Anything to do with the kitchen or grocery store overwhelms and depresses me. Enjoy this spree while it lasts. Wish you could come and take over my kitchen. No way would I have all the fancy gadgetry you are suddenly needing though, lol.
PreciousRock, I can relate — never was into it until now. My m other is trying to get me to start a business organizing kitchens… if I were to take leave of my senses and try it, maybe you could import me to do a test run for you. Gadgetry? Shoot, I was thrilled a friend gave me a real live wooden spoon yesterday. Not much into gadgetry, thank goodness. heheh
