Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?
We often hear that men do not know how to cook, or even worse, their cooking is terrible, don’t we?
But isn’t it strange when you find out that they can, or can do very well.
Cooking is mostly one of everyday mandatory chores, but it can also be fun and a special hobby.
I still remember my father’s baked potatoes with meat. Although he mainly used basic spices, that dish was like nothing else- delicious. I remember he used to cook this dish, mainly, but not often, during the summar holidays. The aroma would waft through our house, making our mouth water. I remember how he looked so proud and happy of his achievement.
Strange how simple things, such as baked potatos with meat, can be carved in children’s memories. And, how strange that some parents deny their children such beautiful moments to relish later on when they grow up.
If it weren’t for the speciality of the chef, the love it was made with, and my family around it, I am sure that dish wouldn’t have crossed my mind for today’s prompt.
With all the best wishes,
