I told him angel food cake was fat free and I still got growled at.

hey - you weren't force-feeding him! keep cooking and let him growl like a grizzly -

Most men would be delighted to have a wife who cooked.

Growing up my Mom never had supper for us when we got home from school. We were lucky if there was anything in the house to eat. Sometimes she would cook a turkey for Thanksgiving but we never had a special dinner for Christmas. She always claimed she hated Christmas because her Dad had died on Christmas Eve. Truth was most of the money went for booze every month. My Mom never really cooked much unless her brother or sisters were coming to visit. Then she pulled out all of her tricks.

I always envied kids who got the family and holiday dinners. The comfort food meals I tend to cook feed that little kid inside me. It gives me a real satisfaction to see people enjoy my food. Jon enjoys it even though he fusses about his figure lol.

It was the opposite with me - mom was always cooking - everything and anything. We were definitely food-spoiled. But you are the opposite of her and doing an excellent job! sometimes we learn by others mistakes.

My mouth waters at the thought of the meals you must have come home to Mama. I adore Italian food. Italian food is food for the soul.
