A Bookworm Creates

Maybe I should change my name to the Pinterest Blogger.   No.   I agree.   I’ll remain An Overthinker.   Makes more sense for me really if anybody else cares to think about it; too much thinking for me.   So, dinner meals in the house are getting a little stale.   Not literally, but there have been a lot of repeats lately.   I really should take on a more active stance in the kitchen, but every single time I try to make something I get usurped and my recipe gets replaced with another recipe that is nothing like that I was going for.   It’s usually more complicated too.   I end up leaving the kitchen and vowing to make another attempt later.
