Home Cooked Meals

To start off this journal, I have to admit that my cooking skills now are nothing compared to my mom's. Eventually I will be able to because I'm spending time to learn how some of the things she does.

In my opinion to define home food is kind of impossible, it's more of a feeling then something put into words, but if it were to be put into words, though i defy that, I have to say it's a feeling of being a child again, and taste so good it reminds you of home. That and it also tastes so good :), kind of like the feel of nostalgia.

My mom cooks most of the time for my family,and her style of cooking was inherited from my great grandfather who was chef at a restaurant that isn't here today. The fried rice my mom cooks tastes and looks completely different from restaurants, and I have to say that it's better than those of the restaurants, but that's my opinion. But yea what really makes home cooked meals delicious is probably the love from the cook herself, my mom knows when we are hunger, she goes and cooks for me and my family, putting all her love into that piece of art, we called food.
