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.
