playing in the kitchen

Obviously, I didn't cook all this but I'm pretty sure you can pick out which ones I did. Each dish however has been tied to events and people that I love dearly.

I just started a cooking class. A FREE one for that matter. Already it has opened my eyes to things I had working knowledge of, yet could not explain as to why. Much like Alton Brown does in "Good Eats" kind of explanation. It is AAAHHHmazing!

But in my years of cooking I've realized many things. I will only mention a few because if I were to list it all down, this entry would never end.

I will always eat what people have cooked from their own kitchens. I've come to the conclusion that people who have cooked for others really have put love in their food. If they took the time to make it, I will certainly oblige them. Maybe I'm thinking too idealistically but when I cook, I tend to pour my heart and soul into it and I believe people have done the same when they cook for others they love.

People who cook for money will sometimes lose that love that goes into making that food. Given, they may be rushed to fill an order or just having a bad day, but I feel for the most part the love is lost and quality of food goes with that love. But I'm more than positive if you take them from mentioned situation, it will be goooooooood.

For me to find so much joy in preparing and making food come together, it makes me wonder how God must have felt when He created people. People were the last creations God made and, I dare say one of His greatest creations, in Genesis and Psalm 139 mentions how He made people, ever so fearfully and wonderfully.

If only my love for cooking could match that of My God's love for humanity...Oh, how wonderful is His love for us!
