I cooked more as a kid than I do as an adult. I think I've cooked more here in the past two months than I did in the past two-- three years in New York.

[Three years, to exclude her year in Samaritan's hands.]

My dad worked long hours, though, and my mom and I liked to have hot food waiting for him when he got back. And when he had a day off and she was at work, we returned the favor for her.
