What do you do while you're cooking?

It's such mindless work sometimes, I stand there in the kitchen and have way too much time to think. I will confess to composing impromptu situational haiku in my head while I'm working. Tonight:

Oh, the tedium,
Peeling, chopping potatoes -
Make your own damn soup.

And then, later:

Your recipe for
Coffeecake has too much crumb.
Why so dry, Martha?

What do you do while you're cooking?

Not necessarily while I'm cooking, since the Jellyman's been doing most of that, but I pick imaginary fights when I'm doing something that allows my mind to wander.

In real life I prefer peace to confrontation of any kind, but in my head I really rip into the people who wrong me or get on my nerves. Healthy, right?

Great haiku!

I looooved these. What is it about haiku that is fundamentally funny? Shhh. Don't tell the person who invented the haiku.
