Matthew and Luke say NO RAPTURE 2070Dear Gabby, With greatest respect, Mathew was written before Luke. Mathew was almost certainly written in Hebrew as he was a Jewish tax collector. Luke was a Greek doctor...
We bought a standalone freezer when I bought the first lamb, and since then it's been pretty much full all the time. Stuff rotates in and out, but I'm always finding some need to buy something either because it's on sale, it's seasonal, or I have to drive a distance to buy it. Or when I make things in bulk.
I've actually been trying to cook in smaller quanities instead of planning on a lot of leftovers. Roasts and things like that, I always end up with leftovers, but that's okay, because the next meal is something different. But now that I have the time to cook, and I've been in the mood to try different recipes, I want to make something new every day. So even if we're doing leftovers, there's usually something new on the plate -- even if it's just an appetizer.
As far as cooking as a stress reliever, I know what you mean. I find it relaxing and somehow energizing at the same time.
My mother, on the other hand, used to like to make soup when she was mad. I think it was something about hacking up the vegetables. She didn't get any calmer, though. I remember coming home from school one day and there were three different pots of soup cooking, and she was still whacking away at vegetables. I knew it was going to be an unpleasant evening.

I'm usually thinking a couple meals in advance as far as what I want to cook next. Sometimes it's a recipe I've read here, or sometimes it's something from a cookbook or food TV or just something that I feel like making. Right now I know there's corned beef in the lineup, and I've had a taste for potstickers, so that will happen eventually.
