Butterfly’s yoga teacher is staying with us this week. She is here to teach a 6-day yoga workshop. It’s really been a delight having her around. She is warm and engaging company.

One of the things I am most enjoying is getting some free time to mess around cooking. I took a few days off work so that while they are busy at the workshop I can putter around in the kitchen and have some (hopefully) tasty morsels ready for them when they get here. Yesterday my kitchen looked like a T.V. cooking show. I had all the ingredients chopped and lined up on the counter, and while some rocking good music played in the background I cavorted with pots, pans and tongs to blend a hearty, healthy Asian-style shrimp stir-fry/soup. Half the time (or maybe all the time) I have no real good idea what I’m doing…I just enjoy the doing of it.

So far no one has gone hungry, so I must be doing something right.
