The Confession, Sir Frank Dicksee (1896)

Ilva of Lucullian Delights posted a list of her culinary confessions. I could relate to many of hers and I thought it would be fun to do the same here.

Okay. I confess:

1. I spend too much time on my food blog (but I like it!)

2. I spend even more time on other food blogs (but I enjoy them!)

3. I’m glad one of my dogs likes to stay in the kitchen while I cook because she eats the food off the floor that I drop by accident.

4. My dogs get a serving of the food I cook.

5. I hate when my sister wrinkles her nose at food I cook, even if she’s right. See here.

6. I love my microplane zester. I never thought I’d develop a love for any kitchen tools.

7. I love new, sharp kitchen knives, even though I promptly cut my fingers with them.

8. I get excited when I buy a new kitchen tool or appliance, no matter how small or large.

9. I get excited in the kitchen when the aromas of chopped fresh herbs (and other cooking ingredients) waft up in the air. I do a happy dance.

10. I love recipes with simple ingredients. That means most likely, I already have a majority of the items in my kitchen. Like here. I saw the recipe and was able to make it the next day, without running around to several stores to buy the ingredients.

11. I don’t particularly like to shop for ingredients that are new to me. I never find them immediately, but I’m happy when I make the purchase because the whole process turns out to be a good learning experience.

12. I like to listen to music when I cook.

13. I do not like to use a dishwasher. I prefer to wash dishes and pots by hand (Okay, so I don’t have a dishwasher.).

14. I may have a general idea of what I’d like to eat, but I have a hard time planning meals ahead of time. So, I end up grocery shopping every day or every other day.

15. I should be working instead of writing this confession.

I have more to admit, but I can’t let them all out at once. They say confession is good for the soul. Why don’t you join me? What’s your confession?
