Dinner Menu:
- Blanquette de veau
- Riz basmati
- Yaourt de brebis et banane
The rule in our house is if you do the cooking you are not involved in the cleaning up and as I usually do the cooking (unless I'm not eating) I rarely get the pleasure of exercising my hygiene talents, however as Theo made dinner tonight I cleaned up with some help from Fianna. I did a thorough job and had the satisfaction of a job well done which made me think that in life there are two kinds of people : Cleaners and Cooks. So what are the positives and negatives?
Cleaning
+ It takes less time
+ Its relatively simple to do it right
+ You can see the difference which makes you feel good
- Other people don't appreciate it
- Its after the meal when you want to go to bed
- Its boring (no creativity involved)
Cooking
+ It allows you to use your creativity
+ You get to decide the meal
+ Feels good to feed your family
- It takes longer
- You can get it wrong
- Success is dependent on others appreciation
In conclusion I would say that either of those activities can be rewarding if you approach them with the right attitude (If only I knew how to spread the message to the younger generations!)
