Here goes. When I'm in the kitchen cleaning veggies or cooking I usually end up singing. Doing that always puts me in a good mood as does going to the market and shopping for food. Even as a young girl I remember fondly going food shopping every Saturday with my dad and younger sister. Mom enjoyed cooking but she did not enjoy shopping for anything but clothes! In those days you visited different stores. The market for packaged goods and staples. Then the vegetable stand and the bakery and the meat market. It was so much fun. It took a few hours then we'd come home with the bounty and mom would take over. I never understood why she didn't like shopping for the food she was going to cook. I still don't! :)
