Cooking Up Love
This happened less than an hour after my sister, Meme, and I returned home from a 20 hour road trip from Princton, NJ to Orlando, FL.
Me: *sees bacon cooking in the pot*
“Meme, what’re you going to do with the bacon?”
Meme: “What do people do when they love you?”
Me: *Dazed and confused after our 20 hour road trip*
“What???”
Meme: “When people love you, they cook you peas and rice.”
Me: *tears up*
“You’re absolutely right.”
Peas and rice, fried chicken, baked pork chops, tomato salad.
This is what love looks like.
The actual plate looked even better. I was too hungry, too tired, and too emotional to stop and take a picture.
