Cooking and Cleaning

I have always been the cook in our family, and Eric has always done the dishes.

Suddenly, due to unraveling of some deep patterns born totally out of resistance to my mother, I am willing and even compelled to do dishes.

And all of sudden, my cooking has become incredibly limited. The amount of dishes and mess I would produce was never taken into consideration when Eric was doing the dishes. Now that I am involved all the way through to the end, we have become a one pot, maybe 2, meal household.

But like the constraints of poetry, I am hoping that this efficiency gives birth to a whole new set of flavors and understanding. The test will be in entertaining.
