I wish that I loved to cook. For me, cooking is not a joy, as much as a means to an end.
My end is to hopefully make my family civilized. Civilized people sit down at the table to eat; they have manners. Studies show that families who sit down together for meals are stronger. It is a way to teach children how to function in society.

It is a way to teach children how to function in society. Our family cannot do these things unless meals are cooked, and we are sitting at the table to eat them.
If it were wholly up to me, I guess we would be eating a lot of raw vegetables on the run; but because awesome people keep mentioning it in General Conference...and my parents taught me well, I have to do things like borrow Andrew's subscription to Martha Stewart Everyday Food (he wrote out my menu for the week).
The reason why I mention this, is because Steele finally got a high chair; so that he could be civilized with us.
He now has some of his meals at the table.
We are practicing his manners for when he goes on a mission:
or for when he woos virtuous women. He will be a lady killer...a lady killer with manners.
