This is going to be an interesting post, since i wanted to reply here and now i see that i should reply to the post made by the One who has me under consideration. The daily routine of breaking bread has connotations of connection and intimacy for me, and even more so in the preparation. i love to cook, whether by myself or with my Other. Something i enjoy. After a few meals, it becomes a well choreographed dance in the kitchen, fixing something scrumptious. Ever seen the tavern scene in "Tom Jones"? Albert Finney & Diane Cilento. Usually, i'm like You and go for basic 'comfort' things, but once or twice a week i like to get serious about cuisine. i make an excellent vichysoisse and onion soup. i have a monastery cookbook dedicated to soups alone. i want to try making the beer soup one day. my first, and only so far, dinner party was leg of lamb, wild rice & mushrooms, steamed zucchini & tomatoes, arugula salad, and pear mousse for dessert. Accompanied by one of my favorite wines, a Ridge Zinfandel. All done by moi, alone. And i got lucky with my first attempt at gravy, it was perfect. i thought the lamb a bit overdone, but no one agreed. Was it 'don't offend the cook?' i always try to find out Her favorite dishes, and it won't be any different with You. To prepare them for special occasions. i also like to cook for social gatherings. Maybe one day i'll be running the kitchen for Teas. Saturday mornings are one time that i like to be "given my head" and allowed to do the total pampering breakfast in bed thing. Fixing whatever She wants and served up with flowers and all the rest. Followed by just spoiling Her rotten. <G> i had some trouble with finding my writing voice in this post, speaking to Her and to the thread. Hope She approves.
