In these times of constant rushing around to get to this place and that,
or the lore of spending hours sitting in front of the computer or TV it is
hard to raise a family that is connected to each other. We carve out
mandatory time each weekend to cook and enjoy a meal together. We have an
appetizer while we are cooking together and then we sit down and eat
together. It is a relaxing time where we enjoy each other's company and
catch up. There are so many recipes to choose from. Many times we just
pick up a cook book, choose something at random, buy the ingredients and
cook it up.
