The Evolution of Domestication

When I was younger, I had a bit of a rebellious streak...okay, maybe more than a bit...I mean, don't we all?At any rate, as a young'n, I balked at anything even semi-related to domestication.  In fact, I swore I'd never become one of those women who turned into a domestic diva, someone who actually took pride in the household duties...oh no, I had much bigger plans for myself!Which is why I find myself amused whenever I do anything even remotely housewifeish and actually enjoy it...or, dare I say, take pride in it?! Gasp!Seriously, my teenaged self would make more than relentless fun of my adult self for the recent afternoons that I spent...        baking chocolate orange biscuits ...        or whipping up a batch of mini pecan pie muffins...        or folding laundry on a perfectly sunny day off.
