My wife has been healing quite well since her accident, for which I am very thankful!

I covered the accident here in a post a short time ago, and I've been taking care of her since then. Her knee was badly bruised, and as a result she's had to stay off of it, which she's really not minded! She's been enjoying watching a lot of television, reading a lot, and playing computer games. She's also been sewing a little as it is a newer machine which doesn't require a pedal to sew with.

I've also been enjoying taking care of my wife whilst she recovers, and being master of the kitchen for a while! We both like to cook, so usually we take it in turns to make dinner and so on, but since she's been unable to get around easily, I've been able to cook every night for... oh it must be a fortnight now! I find it very pleasurable to find a good recipe, buy the fresh ingredients, and then prepare something delicious for my wife and I.

As much as my wife loves to cook, too, I think she's thoroughly enjoying seeing what I make for us each night; I've been making it a surprise each night which has been fun, as my wife has been calling out guessing from the living room based on the smells whilst I cook in the kitchen. I've made some lovely breads to go with our meals, including a fantastic pepper bread and a lovely rich cocoa bread, both of which are savoury in spite of the cocoa in that second one.

Tonight's menu includes curry puffs with garden salad and a nice wine. My wife loves puff pastry and I love curry, so it's a good combination! I suppose I best be off for now, though, as I've much to do today.

I remain, kitchen king
