How many of you love to
cook? I do. I'm better with baking than cooking, but I'm learning how
to make decent meals with limited ingredients. I have fun
experimenting. Sometimes they turn out great. Other times...not so
much. The most recent ones were a balsamic chicken dish that turned
out reasonably good and a pot of black beans that turned out nasty.
The beans didn't get eaten for leftovers while the balsamic chicken
stuff did.
Sunday night, I
attempted chicken quesadillas. They were food, and I thought they
turned out okay. Yes it was another experiment because I had to
figure out how to season the chicken and get it into the quesadillas
evenly. It was fun though.
Cooking is only one of
my passions. I love reading and writing. I like taking walks, though
this is new. I enjoy knitting and crocheting, though I will have to
rebuild my stock of yarn and needles/hooks since I abandoned all of
it when we moved this last time. I'm fascinated by history and do a
lot of research on it.
Hobbies are great. They
help you relax, unwind, and take you away from the stress of your
every day life and into a world of comfort. They can take intense
concentration, they can be physically demanding, but they still have
worth because they are something that you enjoy.
I love my hobbies. I
have an easier time with reading, writing, and cooking – though I
don't get too much baking done these days – than I do with the
others. But I take time every day to do what I enjoy. It makes me
happier and helps me get out of my depression and makes me feel
better.
What about you? What
are some of your hobbies?
