The Biography of Mr. Pink

I was raised by the best natural cook I’ve ever seen in action. However, I was a negligent child and chose not to learn much from my mom while I lived at home. Such is the way of kids I suppose.

Once out in the world I occasionally enjoyed cooking, but it wasn’t one of my real passions until the perfect storm hit. First I realized that the only person who’s cooking I like to eat regularly, other than my mom’s, is my own. I will try anything, and I eat a huge variety of food, but I suppose I’m a picky eater. Anyway, that helped. The next thing that happened was I became a Housewife.

In my former life I spent a lot of time doing mentally complex things. This does not describe the typical day of a Housewife. However, there is something you have to do every day, which is to cook. Somewhere a light bulb went off, and I knew that I could entertain myself while still fulfilling my duties by focusing on my cooking as a creative outlet. I dove in headfirst, and now my kitchen is cemented in its rightful place as the center of our household ( as opposed to sitting in front of the computer. )
