it brings me so much joy to make something tasty for a person i love. i also really love that line from 'the bear' - about how special moments always happen around food; i feel this is true, and i think food itself makes every moment a bit more special.
i enjoy and love cooking but ironically when it comes to cooking for people, i always get nervous. so boy if you see me in the kitchen preparing food for more than one top, the love has been implicatively declared.
