I realized being away from home what I miss and NOW appreciate the most. It’s the food! Not LA food, food that is cooked for you. I’ve been all about eating out. Love it! Loved not worrying about cleaning up just eat the stuff wrapped up by some stranger and dig in. My perspective has changed, when your on the road one has a lot of time to think. To think about what’s important, what has meaning. Once I began to wrap my head around the concept of someone cooking for me it began to be pretty complicated. If you think about it, cooking for someone is a pretty big deal, you have to really care about someone to shop, prep and then put one’s magic mojo into a meal. Very complicated but easily taken for granted. If you look at food this way, the people that cook for you take on a different meaning as well. I guess it’s where that phrase comes from…”“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach”
Fanny Fern (1811-1872)…I know we talk and talk about Better Luck Tomorrow, but it was a special time for us involved. One of the things that I remember that added to the positive mojo of the film was the food. Ernesto’s(co-writer-co-producer) parents knowing we had no $money for dinner, would cook meals for us. It was the best! Now I know why.
Adios party people.
I feel most comfortable cooking when I’m at my dad’s or at some of my foodie friends places. I just feel free to do whatever. I find cooking a really nice meal for myself or my family is really satisfying. As for food been the way to man’s heart, hmm sadly some men just don’t care about the love one has put into what has been cooked for them. I think it’s an Australian male thing.. That’s partly why I’m over them and looking elsewere for a soulmate. hmm Must love food, kids…….
I agree. I should appreciate my hubby’s cooking more.
I agree. I’ve been too busy to sit down lately, but tonight, I made chili from scratch, with my dad and stepmom’s homegrown tomatoes. There’s just nothing like it.
I’m a person who fall in love cooking. I love to stare the countenace after they ate. They always smile that’s my luck.
Hope to cook for you and thank you for good article.
i love this article sung, i know what you mean. my mom cooks really great food. i was not really appreciative of all the love she puts into her cooking not until i went to college. i was in school almost the entire day then so i was forced to eat some place else. the food outside failed in comparison to my what my mom had always prepared for me. until now, nothing has really changed. my taste buds may have become more “cultured and educated” about different local and international cuisines, but my mom’s is still the best….
