Truth. I enjoying making all kinds of different things and almost anytime I show anyone whatever my latest project is, it’s always “oh, you should make and sell these!” No. I want to enjoy my stress-free hobbies, unbeholden to the requests of customers.

I recently lost my job and have the luxury of not having to immediately find a new one. I love to cook and always have, but I'm also a parent of 5 kids. Now everyone is suggesting I open a restaurant. I keep having to explain that while I might be successful, I don't want to turn the one thing that's a labor of love into a labor of business. Especially a business that I know will keep me away from my kids during the exact hours I usually bond with them the most. I would hate to hate cooking, especially for my family.
