Kindness and the Kitchen

"I think careful cooking is love, don't you?  The loveliest thing you can cook for someone's who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give."
~ Julia Child

I have friends who truly enjoy cooking...  But I don't.  So I am very fond of meal-related kindnesses and I remember them even years later.  When my children were small, a very dear friend came over several times and cooked one of his delicious specialty dishes.  I can still see him in my kitchen.  Another time when I was very pregnant, a girlfriend came over and made dinner.  And then there is one of my children who from time to time will decide to make dinner.  Recently, she prepared our dinner -- complete with fresh baked cookies for dessert.  And then cleaned up!
