The Kindness of Great Cooking

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

At a church that we attend, there is a coffee hour following the service and parishioners take turns bringing the food.  One of the women who hosts the coffee hour is an amazing cook and it was recently her turn.  As we walked into the parish hall after the service, there were delicious smells in the air.  I overheard more than one person say that they were thrilled when they saw her leave the Mass after Communion as they knew that meant that she had prepared the meal.  Hearing that, I thought how wonderful to be able to make people happy that way.
