The 5 o'clock hour

I am having an affair with my kitchen. I have always loved it but as a working mom, I didn't have time to cook, to create. I was the take out/restaurant queen. Now that I am home full time, my kitchen has been come my heaven. Well, it becomes my heaven after 5 pm each day. Before that it's my hell. I spend too much time in the kitchen from 7 to 5, making quick breakfast, lunch, and baby food, pumping breast milk and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. From 7 to 5, I hate my kitchen but come 5 o'clock it's my playground, my canvas, my life.
This is a peek into my kitchen after 5 (I'll spare you from the chaos of the rest of the day)- the food, the conversations, the wine, and the memories in the making....
