I love to cook. We've established this already, no?! I love to try new things ... also established ... even if I'm trying something new when company is coming, yet again an established 'fact' about moi.
But you know what, cooking for yourself - though a delight for sure (if you like cooking) - pales in comparison to cooking for others. Sharing a meal with family and friends is such a great feeling. I know I'm sounding like a giant dork right now (and I am one...) but it's true.
One of my younger cousins was staying with me for a few weeks, while he searched for an apartment, and there was something very satisfying about coming home, cooking dinner and then "calling him" to the table to share the meal.
Plus, all the fun and fancy kitchen items that I own are more fun to use when others are around to see them and share in their use - like eating a good guac out of my molcajete for example.
At the moment I am working on my Thanksgiving Menu. It'll be just me and my folks at my place, so though the portions need not be large, it's not Thanksgiving without the staples...I'm sure more Turkey Day Posts will follow.
