I am always the hostess

So where did this cooking passion come from?

I love to cook and take great pleasure in amazing my friends and family with meals that I whip up. I am the oldest child in a pretty large family and grew up with my mom always cooking. My mom was by no means a gourmet cook, but I think that I learned how to make the most of what is in the cubberts from her. Also, being in the restaurant business, she worked most holidays and I would often be the one stuffing and watching over the Turkey - but my passion really started in college and just grew. By some miracle, the cooking love is coded in my DNA and was passed down to my beautiful little girl. Now we cook together religiously.

I am always the hostess

95% of all holiday/birthday/family gathering meals are at my house. I can spend a few hours putting a meal together and then not be hungry at the end. Seeing everyone’s faces when they taste the food is what I am really waiting for. It is sorta like the episode of Friends, The One With Rachel’s Crush, where after 2 days of cleaning and redecorating the apartment, Monica falls asleep as everyone comes over to visit:

(They all go over to her apartment.)

Ross: Oh my God!

Rachel: Wow! Monica!

Phoebe: Great! Ross:

This is beautiful!

(She has cleaned it, completely redecorated it, removed the carpet, and polished the floor.)

Phoebe: Oh did you—what did you—did you work for two days straight?

Monica: Pretty much. (to Joey) So, what do you, what do you think of the floor?

Joey: I don’t know, it looks the same.

Monica: You used to have carpet.

Joey: Oh yeah!

Monica: So I made snacks. Please, just hang out okay? I’m just gonna rest my eyes just a little bit.

Ross: Look, Mon, do you want us to uh, come back later?

Monica: Oh no-no-no, stay, stay, stay, just keep talking. I’m always the hostess.

Hope you enjoy my site. This should be fun - watch and give me pointers as I go.
