I Confess -- Culinary Confessions
The Confession, Sir Frank Dicksee (1896)
Ilva of Lucullian Delights posted a list of her culinary confessions. I could relate to many of hers and I thought it would be fun to do the same here.
Okay. I confess:
1. I spend too much time on my food blog (but I like it!)
2. I spend even more time on other food blogs (but I enjoy them!)
3. I’m glad one of my dogs likes to stay in the kitchen while I cook because she eats the food off the floor that I drop by accident.
4. My dogs get a serving of the food I cook.
5. I hate when my sister wrinkles her nose at food I cook, even if she’s right. See here.
6. I love my microplane zester. I never thought I’d develop a love for any kitchen tools.
7. I love new, sharp kitchen knives, even though I promptly cut my fingers with them.
8. I get excited when I buy a new kitchen tool or appliance, no matter how small or large.
9. I get excited in the kitchen when the aromas of chopped fresh herbs (and other cooking ingredients) waft up in the air. I do a happy dance.
10. I love recipes with simple ingredients. That means most likely, I already have a majority of the items in my kitchen. Like here. I saw the recipe and was able to make it the next day, without running around to several stores to buy the ingredients.
11. I don’t particularly like to shop for ingredients that are new to me. I never find them immediately, but I’m happy when I make the purchase because the whole process turns out to be a good learning experience.
12. I like to listen to music when I cook.
13. I do not like to use a dishwasher. I prefer to wash dishes and pots by hand (Okay, so I don’t have a dishwasher.).
14. I may have a general idea of what I’d like to eat, but I have a hard time planning meals ahead of time. So, I end up grocery shopping every day or every other day.
15. I should be working instead of writing this confession.
I have more to admit, but I can’t let them all out at once. They say confession is good for the soul. Why don’t you join me? What’s your confession?

Hi Paz, I promise to write my confessions soon.... oh boy ! Will be a hundred or more.... I can agree with many of yours (as usual ;-) Besos,angelika
Nice to see that we share quite a few points!!
Hey ! I'm a lot like you, so I guess I won't have much to write then...
Hi All!
Angelika, I enjoyed reading your confessions! ;-)))
Ilva, I enjoyed reading your confessions, too. Thanks for the absolution. I'm feeling better now. ;-))
Cindy, I'm sure you have some good confessions for us. ;-))))
Best,
Paz
Paz, I love your confessions. It seems we share quite a few. Isn't it amazing how easy it is to spend hours reading blogs without even realizing it?
Hi Ruth! Welcome! Yes, we do share many confessions. And yes, there are so many wonderful blogs out there, it's so easy to get lost in them.
Paz
Paz, those are great. And I can totally relate. Love listening to music/singing/cooking, and spend any time at work I have blogging :) Since I don't have a laptop at home that's what I gotta do!
Hi Paz,
seems like food bloggers have a lot in common ;)
I definitely can relate to some of your confessions - especially no.14! I've never been able to do grocery shopping for a whole week, absolutely impossible. How should I know, what dinner I'm lusting for tomorrow and then the day after tomorrow...
Hey Mona! Love that confession of spending time at work blogging. So work is good for something, huh? ;-)
Hi Nicky! I find it interesting how food bloggers have a lot in common. I'm so GLAD that someone understands what I mean about not being able to shope for a whole week!!!! Yes! You've hit the nail on exactly on the head!
Best,
Paz
LOL, Paz. I like this one a lot. "3. I’m glad one of my dogs likes to stay in the kitchen while I cook because she eats the food off the floor that I drop by accident." You can always count on a dog to be there when you need her. Also the dishwasher one, only now I DO have a dishwasher and never wash by hand anymore. Not even a glass or a spoon. Not even my cat Sibyl's teeny tiny dish for milk. Ah, the self-pampering of retirement! :))
Hi Kathleen!
I can definitely count on Cadeau to eat the food on the floor. At the same time, I also have to watch her closely because she can be a real food thief! Wow! I'm impressed. You don't even handwash Sibyl's milk dish? Give me a couple of years and maybe I'll change my mind about handwashing. ;-)
