The Food of the Soul

"What is your favorite meal to prepare, and why?" - Sonya


I really do enjoy cooking. I've always had a knack for it since I was younger. I would say that my favorite thing to prepare would be: pancakes, French toast, home fries, bacon and scrabbled eggs. I adore cooking breakfast. Not only is it one of my fave types of food, pancakes can be made in so many varieties! Not to mention the different toppings you can put on everything. It's just delicious!

I remember when i was younger waking up to my father cooking breakfast. Just opening my bedroom door to the smell of breakfast sizzling was delicious. It would hit me, wafting all around me as soon as that door was cracked and I realized just how hungry I was. My father taught me how to make most of the stuff I know how to cook for breakfast. Little by little he would show me how to flip pancakes or cook eggs and such and it was nice getting to do something with my father where we weren't arguing. Over the years this became a tradition for us. Every sunday morning, I'd wake up early with him to grab a dozen doughnuts and the newspaper and we'd come home and make breakfast.

I guess I just enjoy cooking this because it reminds me of good times in my life.
