I can feel your joy throughout this post. You are a blessed man indeed.
Sidenote -- I've been baking a lot this year and I believe food, especially cakes and breads, have healing powers. LOL
My stepdad is not family oriented at all and it has been an issue in the past with our family. I started baking him cakes and breads this year and to be honest, he has really come around. I guess it's true what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. LOL
Just thought I'd share that with you.
Hey Jetaime
That makes total complete sense. There's a whole lot of truth to the quote about food being good for the soul. My grandfather was a chef in the military, and when my mother and her sisters grew up, he did all the cooking. My mom still not can not cook. I learned by watching him. As a matter of fact, my earliest memory is of me at maybe 3. I was sitting on a stool in the kitchen by the stove, watching my grandfather cooking greens, frying chicken, boiling potatoes, etc. I love cooking, but most of all, I love watching people enjoy what I have made. That was how my grandfather was. Food is good for the soul. Especially when it's a group of family and friends. I think food is the way to anyone's heart. My past girlfriends and dates seem impressed when I have cooked for them. I would rather do all the cooking. I cooked every meal at home when i was growing up. My mom and sister cleaned the house since I did all the cooking! strange, huh?
