When it comes to truly creative cooking, my husband is a pro. I think that it serves as a means of stress relief or catharsis for him. (which is why I don't get in his way/watch Real Housewives of ___________ or the Nightly News while he works his magic). Regardless of how much time he spends working, he comes home each evening and makes dinner and our lunches for the next day. We try to be financially conservative & health-conscious. I avoid eating out during the day because it cuts into my productivity. READ: I want to take a nap by 2:00 p.m. when I eat tater tots. Often, I find that I end up consuming far more calories when I eat out, as well. The financial aspect is certainly a deterrent when you consider that you can't get out of most group lunches for less than $20. $20 spent 2-3 times per week can add up quickly. All that aside, I like knowing that there are only two people who could have prepared my lunch -- and both of them washed their hands first :) I also love when I get e-mails containing photos of tomorrow's lunch from my husband, who has the day off of work. On the menu tomorrow: curry chicken salad. Yay!

Our domestic life . . .
My husband and I are very domestic. It is not intentional. I know many people who try terribly hard to be domestic. It comes naturally -- especially to my husband. Among many things my parents taught me, I learned to feed people and clean pretty quickly. I enjoy cleaning, organizing and decorating. I've always been a list-maker and constant reorganizer. When it comes to cooking, I am a pretty good baker. However, when left to my own devices, the menu will typically consist of a fried egg (with a solid yolk), a piece of whole wheat toast and some steamed broccoli. Lame, I know. This is an improvement from law school when I could live on Cap'n Crunch and coffee.
