A friend of mine recently remarked that it looks like I am having fun when I cook. She admits cooking is not for her.

That’s fine, I’ll bring the salads, dessert, whatever to her house. My pleasure. Truly. Especially now that we are entering peak local produce season. The perfect time to offer to contribute to a potluck.
