I was in the kitchen last evening, dressed, preparing some food and realized how much Darla Jean enjoyed working in the kitchen...I like to cook (yes I can also bbq and smoke on the man grill) and I find that there is a certain pleasantness that derives from baking or preparing a meal as Darla. I also noted that when I am cooking, I'm not dressed to the nines - rather, flats, shorts and a simple blouse and I'm happy. There is something about being female and cooking that settles me and makes me feel comfortable. I am wondering what your experience is - I'm sure there are other girls here who cook - what are you making?, how do you dress? and how do you feel? when your female self dons and apron, picks up the chef tools and goes to work?
