I made homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight: just elbow mac, milk, butter, flour, cheddar, and swiss. And a little sprinkling of nutmeg for me and Adam.

I don't cook often, but I really do enjoy it and view it as a creative process. It's relaxing, and it's personally fulfilling to prepare something that my family can eat and (hopefully) appreciate.

Looking at this nearly empty pot, I was reminded that it's always a blessing to be a caretaker, even if sometimes, it feels like it isn't.
