What’s your favorite thing to cook?

Cooking is a huge trait in my love language. So, my favorite thing to cook is whatever makes the one I am cooking for feel special.

I inherited this trait from my paternal grandmother “Nannie.” Whenever my brother and I would visit her she would actually ask us what we wanted to eat. Now I know this is common in homes today but, in the 60’s at my momma’s house you ate what she cooked or else.

Nannie would ask us how we wanted our eggs for breakfast. If Brother wanted his scrambled and I wanted mine over easy we both got whatever we wanted. She let us have coffee too! It was mostly milk and sugar but, to me and Brother it was a treat.

As we grew older she would call and ask what dessert or baked dish we wanted for our birthday? In a day or two she would call back and say, ” Come get your birthday delight!”

This beautiful silver haired cook who we would always wind kiss goodbye. Forever grateful she taught me the love of cooking for others the meal of their delight!
