I work full-time in accounting and IT, constantly learning new things. And they pay me for this! For fun, I work with the local American Women's chapter coordinating the "Culinary Caravan" where we take our husbands to new restaurants each month. Our groups range from 9 - 16 couples. I also enjoy cooking although I don't have as much time as many of the other women. The key for me is ORGANIZATION. I plan menus weeks in advance and review/update weekly before I do the grocery shopping. Here in Aberdeen, I especially enjoy The Meze House (Turkish food), Rustico's (Italian), and Christo's Greek Taverna. Eating out in Aberdeen is more of a challenge, though, as one must reserve in advance so we don't actually go to restaurants very much.
