If a tree falls in the forest...

Okay so last week i decided that cooking was a seriously under appreciated dimension of my domestic life and that i was going to go on strike until people started acknowledging it/me a bit more. but being so caught up in self-righteous anger i think i forgot to take the possibly crucial step of actually telling anyone about the afore mentioned strike. and for one reason or another i suspect that people still haven't noticed. admittedly there has been the occasional person wondering into the kitchen looking optimistic, hungry and/or bemused around about 6pm, but generally speaking they've either gone away or just taken out a fry pan and cooked something for the whole crew. in fact, i'd have to say that the standard of fare on offer has probably improved over the last few days as, indeed, has my temperament. and i wonder if things would have gone so swimmingly if i had actually announced the strike and done a full one kitchen walk out? now i wonder what would happen if i just stopped doing the washing...
