I am hopeless in the kitchen, but I admire and appreciate the magic a good cook can work. I was fortunate enough to be married to one for 40 years. I miss her in a thousand ways, of course, but my entire family loves to reminisce about all the nurturing, delicious meals she served.

Is the nature of scouting such that staying at an AirBnB some of the time, where you’d have a kitchen, doesn’t make sense? Or is needing a 1/4 teaspoon of 6 spices make that not sufficient for you to cook on the road?

I haven’t yet graduated to any interesting dishes, but I find preparing dinner every night satisfying. And I love that process that takes disparate nothings and outputs a tasty something.

This was great to read. Made me hungry, though (in a good way).

My wife’s cookies, lemon squares, and salads are 80-grade. I don’t know where she gets the inspiration from, but her ability to assemble recipes from seemingly random ingredients that are the hit of any gathering is elite.

Cooking is one of the loves of my wife (behind my wife and ahead of writing). Hope to see some of your recipes
