Today while we were hanging out at the bookstore, my husband started leafing through several recipe books in the culinary arts section. We’ve been getting bored of many of our favorite dinners lately, so he was looking for new recipes to try. He ended up buying a vegetarian cookbook with quite a few recipes, particularly soup recipes and sweet potato recipes, that we were interested in.
Meanwhile, I was looking at a much different kind of recipe book: a book full of Christmas cookie recipes. I have a crazy sweet tooth, so it’s probably no surprise that I love Christmas cookies. It’s been years since I’ve made them, though -- since I was a kid, really -- so I thought I’d check out some recipes we could try this holiday season.
Although I cook on occasion, it’s really my husband who does most of the cooking, as he is the one who is good at it and enjoys it. My sister and my dad are both great cooks, too -- in fact, at one time we thought my sister might like to one day pursue a culinary education from one of our local culinary schools. (She didn’t, of course -- although she still loves to cook, her priorities just changed as she got older.)
I guess the culinary genes just skipped right over me. My mom isn’t much of a cook, either, so maybe I took after her. I’m just glad I am surrounded by so many people who good at cooking -- otherwise I’d probably live off of Budget Gourmet and snack food!
