I have to cook in a clean kitchen. If there are dishes/glasses rinsed and sitting on the counter next to the sink, the dishwasher must be unloaded and loaded with the dirties on the counter before I can begin cooking. I really do not understand this compulsion to begin with a clean kitchen that I intend to dirty up with my preparations...

I'm also like this about leaving the house for a trip. The house must be clean before we leave so we return to a clean home with nothing to do but unpack and do laundry.

I'm usually not in any particularly happy mood when I cook, though I will turn on the Disco or Classic Rock music and dance around the kitchen as I cook, sometimes dancing with Hubby as he passes through for a beer. I wonder if the distracted dancing is why oft'times my smoke detector announces dinner?

Shortly after I was married, my grandmother asked me if I liked to cook. I told her: "No Grandma, but I like home-cooked food, so I have to."
That just about sums up my cooking.
