I've heard it many times, "you should open a restaurant" Hell NO. I enjoy
cooking, I'm pretty good at it from what others tell me, but I certainly
don't want to own or work in a restaurant. Cooking would cease to be fun.
I like weekends off. I like getting home from work about 4:30. I like
being able to cook what I want and when I want, not on demand.
