Pizza and Berry Cobbler

For supper tonight I made pepperoni pizza and berry cobbler. Not exactly healthy but all the food groups were present (fruit, grain, veggie, meat). The best part of making food is that not only do you get to eat whatever you create, you get to share it with other people. As much as I would love to eat a casserole full of cobbler all by myself, its just better (and healthier) to share.

In fact my roommate and I have been sharing meals a lot more lately, which has been fun. She made swedish meatballs last night (which were amazing). There is something about food, it makes people come together. This is not a new revelation for me. I grew up in a large family and eating for us was less about the food and more about eating it together. I remember plenty of meals where we were laughing so hard, we could not eat.

Of course the only problem with creating a lot of food is the fact that you end up with a lot of dishes. I don't mind doing dishes (and of course dishwashers make this chore even easier). But when you do a lot of cooking, you end up with a lot of dishes. At my parents house, there is some kind of sharing that happens with this chore. Sure some people might do the dishes a little more then others, but they are the ones that don't cook as much as the rest. When you do most of the cooking in an apartment, its your job to do most of the dishes (because those dishes are your dishes). I'm really tired of doing dishes this week (guess what I have to do after finishing this post...) Yes I have a dishwasher. But sometimes, it would be nice to have a private maid to do the annoying chores for me. I always thought laundry was my least favorite chore, but not this week.

Anyone else have a chore they just hate?
