Hey, @artisticscreech.

I really need to find a way to relax, since that's what things like cooking and gardening are supposed to do. For me, it's the exact opposite—it just gives me time to think about all the things I'd rather be doing. :)

It turn out pretty good, if you like the taste of marinara.

Up until about three years ago, I wasn't cooking regularly, either. But my wife has been working instead of me, so she doesn't get home until after dinner most week nights, and the daughter-in-law or my son does most of the cooking, so once a week keeps me in practice, even though things have a tendency to go sideways when I try new stuff. :)
