  I still love puttering around my kitchen, although I don't do much baking any more.  Sunday is usually my big cooking day.  I don't know, maybe my life is too boring and I have low standards of fun, but I have fun doing that sometimes.

• Hegemone said on Oct 02, 2009....

  MiMi - I bet it can be fun.  I've just never been one for it purely because ... and sshhh, don't tell anybody ... I never really learned how to cook.  No classes in H.S., my mom moved out and away before I was really old enough to grasp the whole 'cooking', 'recipes', etc. concepts and there really hasn't been anybody else.  So when I cook, it's an experiment.  I've just gotten lucky so far that when I experiment ... it tastes really good, lol.  My husband never complains, and when he hears me start thinking to myself about cooking this or that he starts getting all excited.  Guess I need to do it more often.  :-)

  Queenie - Consider it saved.  :-)

  I like baking during the winter.  Very comforting being in a good smelling warm kitchen when it's cold outside.  Other than that, the kitchen is for warming up take out. lol

  I made cookies randomly the other day as well. ^_^  I get in these random phases where I want to bake things etc.  It doesn't sound like to bad of a morning, just.. calm and not a huge rush like other mornings can be. =]

• Hegemone said on Oct 02, 2009....

  Mixed - Nope, too many calories in a home made pie (I'm on weight watchers, trying to be healthy and lose weight, and angel food cake is perfect)... also ... I'm not so good with those ... it'd be more like pie-soup, lol.
  
  Uni - Yeah there is something special about that wonderful smell from baking things.  I guess it's sort of hitting me too because yes, at this time of year I too tend to be in the kitchen more baking cookies and whatnot for the holidays, which comes from back before my grandma passed ... she did the same thing every year.
  
  Simply - Yup, definitely a good morning.  I don't mind my random whim to bake, lol, as long as I don't sample TOO much of what I bake, then I'm in trouble.  :-D

  I need to try some of that angel food cake. Sounds like it might just make my day. Post me some! :-)

  I have company coming on Sunday, and should be baking something, I guess.  But after reading this, all I want are eggs and toast.  Maybe some bacon.

  But I know the feeling of being "domestic."  It's a feeling of wanting to just be "home."

  Aww..heck with it. I am home.    I ain't baking nothing.  Let them bring the goods.

  But I wish I had a peach pie, cornbread, chilli........

• UnicornForm said on Oct 02, 2009....

  aww! I think about being the woman of the house, baking my bo's food cleaning plaanning cute little night picnics in the back yard... somehting i might just look forwaard to.

• Hegemone said on Oct 02, 2009....

  TFC - I'll try to ... no promises, it seems to be going fast.  :-p
  
  Wombie - Heh, you know, that peach pie sounds mighty tempting to me.  I really need to learn to make pies.  But yeah, I guess baking does make it feel like home ... if for no other reason than that's just the way it was when my grandma was still alive, just so much better of an environment.
  
  UF - You know, a picnic might be kind of neat ... have never done that one before.  Need to research safe, clean parks in the area.

  You stirred up a memory for me Hege.
  
  Before my niece died, one of her very favorite things to do when she spent the night here was to bake a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.  No cake was complete without sprinkles. 
  
  Our cakes were always in her plans for her idea of a party after supper.  We ate cake and we danced.  :-)
  
  Good times.
  
  In general I don't love cooking, but I'm told I'm a good cook.  I much prefer being a yarn-a-holic.  :-)

  Please save me a slice....
   
  BTW - try baking bread the old fashioned way - the beating of the dough to get it to rise (twice) is a great way to release frustrations....

• UnicornForm said on Oct 03, 2009....

  I was thinking of a homely picnic, at night, in the back yrad or something with candles and sexy little treats...
   
  than you wont have to worry about sitting over drunk piss.

• Hegemone said on Oct 03, 2009....

  CW - What a sweet memory.  I think that's similar to the underlying reasons I probably get this way during this time of year.  Fond memories of helping my grandma bake cookies in the kitchen.  I bet you are a good cook, and I KNOW you're a good yarn-a-holic.  :-)
  
  FG - I'll have to give bread a try sometime, and you're lucky you mentioned something ... it's almost all gone.  I might just have to make another!  Lol.
  
  UF - Nah, it'd have to be during the day.  The back yard is sort of n/a (don't want to picnic with my dog, lol) and living in the country, well, being out at night gets too creepy with all the wildlife.  Plus, that's when my dad has usually worked himself into a good drunk and we'd be more prone to getting bothered.  Day time activities definitely win.
