Day 62: Cooking

I'm grateful for cooking.  I'm grateful that I learned how...eventually. :) I'm also grateful that my family seems to like and appreciate my cooking.  When I have the space and time I love to make delicious food that I know will make the taste buds of those I feed it to smile.  I love understanding how things come together to be delicious.  When I don't have time and space I'm a little less grateful for cooking but overall I am so thankful that I like it so much.  Today I spent the day cooking up 14 freezer meals.  If I don't make up freezer meals about once a month then my family is usually resorting to eating popcorn for dinner. :)  This Mama is busy and freezer meals are ensuring they eat something at least 19 evenings out of the month (I also participate in a cook group that makes up 5 freezer meals a month)!  *grin*

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
