There is something deeply satisfying about cooking for someone else. OK, maybe you do that three meals a day every day, but normally I just cook for me. I've written about how I make sure I eat well when I eat alone, but my rare opportunities to cook for others are very special.
G (Holly Dog's human) and I both enjoy roast lamb so sometimes I invite her to come for Sunday lunch. I buy small pieces of lamb loin which we have with a variety of veggies. G brings a bottle of wine and we have a glorious meal together. G hates cooking so I know these mini feasts are a joy for her too.
I am going to a huge family meal on Wednesday when about fifteen of us will sit down together and it will be a joyful, noisy occasion.
But there is something very special about cooking for someone else.
And having leftovers next day!
My family is big, bigger now with all the nieces and nephews, I love it when we all get together, sadly not often enough.
ReplyDeleteI loved big family meals, especially in my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI miss cooking big meals and all the table setting etc that goes with it. Enjoy your family meal both food and conversation. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI love having family meals but I don't love cooking them. Of course, I do my share but Hubby is happy to cook so he always helps. One meal I do enjoy cooking though is Christmas dinner.
