Making Dinner
When it's time to make dinner, do you ever find yourself thinking, "What should I make for dinner today?"
I'm remembering my mom making dinner. Even on the days when she said, "What should I fix for dinner?" she sorted it out quickly and bustled around, from refrigerator to sink to stove, and in bringing things out of the cupboards. Soon the kitchen was filled with food simmering or frying and with wonderful aromas. I think of crispy, tasty food, of cozy warmth, family conversation, love. If Mom didn't do it effortlessly, she made it look that way. She was fast, efficient, tidy and those meals were first rate. I get flustered when I have a lot of people to cook for. I think my mom never was flustered about preparing dinners. I think she must have been a born cook.
