009 In Praise of Simple Cooking with Lori Gamble

The thing that most struck me about Lori is her unusual ability to both accept life as it is and yet take control of all that she can. It was this ability, along with her grandparents patient teaching of basic cooking skills, that allowed Lori to take over the cooking for her family at the age of 10 - and she loved it. Like her family's classic beef barbeque recipe, I found Lori's words to be bold yet comforting and just *exactly* what I needed. Although cooking is, without a doubt, Lori's love language, I think this is the episode that will prove most helpful and affirming to listeners that DON'T love cooking. Either way, I believe Lori's memories and example will help all of us to choose joy.
