It's Messy
When I cook, I make a mess. I use more bowls and dishes and pots than any sane person. But it's how I cook. It's what I do.
And I know, that when it's all said and done, when everything is finished that I'll have a mess to clean up. I don't like it, but it's part and parcel of what I do. Even more than that, of who I am.
I give it all I've got. I ENJOY the process. But I remember....for every action, there's a reaction. It's what keeps balance.
So I can't complain about the mess. I can heave a heavy sign. I can wish I wasn't like this. But bottom line? Yeah, it is what it is.
Because the only other choice is to stop cooking. And I just don't see that happening.
I'm tellin' you folks. You really CAN'T teach an old dog new tricks......

So every time I put down a bowl or spoon or whatever he grabs it and cleans it so when I need said bowl or spoon again I can't find it and have to dirty it up again.
Drives.me.crazy.

My sister is a good cook. But she's a messy cook too. After spending an hour cleaning up the kitchen, for a free meal, I decided it wasn't worth it. So I quit coming down there when she cooked, and she had to clean up her own mess. Works for me!
