Why do you cook? I have a friend who is a hard core triathlete and he gets the same question - why do you do it? In fact, we were out running the other day and the question came up. He said our little run was the first run he'd done in a long time "just for the fun of it". All his other runs have a schedule, a purpose, a goal. Our run was just a run for the sake of running.
We all have things we love doing and cooking is probably one of them. We didn't start out loving it; we tried it, liked it, were good at and pretty quickly, we loved what we were doing. Over time, you become the "cook" - a badge of honor at first, but then it's your obligation. We cook all too often for a schedule (the family needs to eat), a purpose (friends are coming over) or a goal (the charity dinner you donated last year). These are all fine reasons to cook but we should ask ourselves why we cook and then remember we cook because we love it. I challenge you to grab a cookbook, pick a recipe and cook it. Even if you simply stare at the finished product, remember to enjoy the process along the way - remember why you love to cook.
See you at the store

Sally Jackson is back in the house with her classic goat and sheep cheeses. These Washington State stalwarts are the grandmothers of artisan cheese in the Northwest - a must on every NW-themed cheese plate. Go to 
As is always the case, we pour these wines free from 2-4 pm each Saturday upstairs in our Wine Department. Drop by some time. It's fun and we always have a nice pairing of cheese to match the delicious wines.
