Welcome to Big Fun Cooking!

My dad and my older sister Annie in the kitchen circa 1984
My dad loved tear-off Zen calendars. Each day, he’d tear off a page and save it if he thought it spoke to him. Eventually, two thick stacks hung on the wall of his home office. Perhaps he once intended to switch these up regularly for renewed inspiration, but for as long as I can remember, the same two sayings stayed put.
The first: Life is painful. Suffering is optional.
