Cooking at Home

There is nothing like making your own meals at home. I cook all day at work but it's nothing compared to making your whole house smell of roasting meats and sauteeing garlic. (And, a little Hawaiian music and a glass of wine makes it better). It's in the smells, and the sounds of cooking, that's what is so comforting.

Find the enjoyment in your cooking. Start cooking then sit down with a glass of wine and turn on some music in the other side of the house. Then, close your eyes. This is something that excites all your senses. So sit, relax, and enjoy these moments in life when things are slow.
