Kitchen time can be quality time. Somehow it's been phased out of everyone's lives, which is really quite sad, because it should be as pleasurable as anything else you do with your mate.

I love to get into the kitchen with DH and be his chef's helper. We spend hours in there (recently had it renovated, so it's a pleasure to be in now...) having drinkies and good discussions, listening to nice music and turning out some great food.

After all, some people spend *hours* parked in front of the TV together, why not enjoy the cooking process instead?
