Too fun

Cookbooks, cookbooks, cookbooks, I was drowning in cookbooks last night. You probably would have laughed at me.  I pulled all my cookbooks out and had them laying around, on top of and behind me on the kitchen floor.  I was trying to determine what makes a good cookbook.  Which of my current books are my favourites and why.  Which are the easiest to use, which do I reach for most often.  I decided simple is best.  I like ones that lay flat, that have flexible spines, that have bigger print (yes I am getting older), that are easy to follow.  Sounds pretty obvious but I could see the difference when I had them all laid out.  The pretty ones, the ones with the big bold beautiful pictures I love them but I hardly ever use them. I don’t want to wreck them.  It is the sturdy durable ones I use all the time!  Maybe I am just too rough in the kitchen.  I am certainly too messy!  Got me thinking again, all this thinking, I better get cooking to remember why I set out to do this in the first place.  I am having so much fun!
