this is what I do on my days off

[threeplusfire]

I can't be the only person who makes cookies on a Saturday afternoon while listening to Apoptygma Berzerk cover one of my favorite Marilyn Mason songs, VNV Nation, and Razed in Black. Can I? Maybe this is just the suburban-too-shy-to-even-hang-with-the goth-kids-and-too-tan-anyway self rising up again after ten years. But I can think of few afternoons so nice as this - in my kitchen barefoot and swaying back and forth while I try to cream butter and sugar by hand to make chocolate & peanut butter chip cookies. If only every day could be this easy.

(Note: if you're nutty enough to cream butter by hand cause your friend is using your KitchenAid mixer, make sure the handle of whatever you are using is comfortable. Ow.)

music

I actually chose my cooking music based on what I'm cooking. Edith Pilaf for french food, Neko Case or Old 97's for southern comfort food, etc.
There's something so soothing about making delicious food and swaying to good music.
