Meals.
They’re a common request in this family.
And as the family cook, I make a lot of them.
In fact, I make 19 meals a week. That’s about 76 a month, and 912 a year.
That is a LOT of food. And a lot of cooking. If I spend an average of half an hour in the kitchen per each meal(often longer for dinners and shorter for breakfasts), that’d mean I spend about 547 hours in the kitchen a year.
Mhmm. And that’s not counting any baking or experiments, which I do about once or twice a month. Or WAY more than that in the winter months.
And this isn’t your normal 4-people-feeding meals. Oh no, I have to feed 10 hungry people. 7 of which are boys.
This is the alfredo I made the other night.
That is a lot of alfredo.
Yummy alfredo.
So anyway, yep. I spend a lot of time cooking. I’ve been making every meal for almost two years now. It’s pretty awesome and I enjoy doing it.
Yay for cooking!

Impressive, most impressive. I think cooks should have gotten an honorable mention on C day on my blog. Especially since mom’s a cook herself. She’s *okay*, though…

You obviously have never eaten what your mom makes(specifically her chicken pot pie) if you think she’s simply *okay*. She’s absolutely slendiforous.

Taylor: *Okay*? OKAY!?
Kait, I am duly impressed with your meal-making skills, girlie.

19 meals a week? Isn’t that like… 2.7 meals a day? What’s happening to the .3?

Well I don’t make Saturday breakfast(usually) because that’s my sleep-in day and Sunday dinner I only make sometimes too. A lot of times it’s a “grab what you want” night.
That’s where the .3 went.
