"Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude" - Meister Eckhart

I am grateful for being a pretty good cook : ) I have to admit that I get into a rut sometimes and make the same old meals but every so often I get excited about new recipes. Then I start checking out the cookbooks (on-line and on my shelf) It gives me a feeling of accomplishment to be able to create something that looks and tastes great.
