Do I ever get in these funks? I had a menopausal moment yesterday. I got up, got all my clothes together to go to the gym. I looked at the stack, realized it was an entire load of laundry. My Friday routine is grocery day, and usually, honest-to-God, I love it. I wake, go to the gym, clean up, go run errands, and grocery shop. Then in the afternoon I read to some freinds who are .. well, one is blind,the other has severe arthritis and cannot move. Then I socialize with freinds over "happy hour" and dinner. But I swear, I looked at the stack of clothes and just had it. Now, of course, I'll have to grocery shop today. I live in a tourist town, so when I get in a grocery funk I usually put on my walking shoes and hit my local gourmet shops. Because it is so small, I often say, "hey, I'm looking for inspiration" and sometimes get help from the owners. I also collect cookbooks, and will go upstairs to the cookbook "library" and bring down a half dozen books and mags (I have 25 years of Gourmets up there), and browse. This is a lot more personal info than you need! But I wanted to let you know that no matter how much you love to cook, you get these times when you're in a funk. To me the best solution is ... a pizza. Frozen or called in. After that, you're ready to cook again!!!
