Dear readers, Despite a formidable schedule that includes work, volunteering, and more soccer than Manchester United (and, this spring, dragon-boat racing), Culinate's food editor, Carrie Floyd, stays home and cooks from scratch most nights. Says Carrie: "Cooking . . . allows me to save money and eat food that I like. Furthermore, when I make a meal I control the amount of salt, sugar, and fat, which results in food far healthier than anything prepackaged. And I cook — hear me roar! — because I want my family to eat well, too." Carrie values her time in the kitchen for many reasons, and yet I know from talking to her that this effort is not always easy, and that even she must take a break sometimes (thank goodness for Hot Lips Pizza). Why do you cook? Why don't you cook? Head over to Carrie's column and put in your two cents. Kim Carlson Editorial Director P.S.
