The Joys of a Home-cooked Meal



I am not a big fan of traveling, don’t get me wrong though, I enjoy exotic places and cuisines as much as the next epicure but when it comes to traveling I always have resented it. Mainly because I only have two modes of travel which I usually abide to; driving or riding a plane, both of which I do not like to do, but for the sake of adventure I inevitably succumb too.
Why, you may ask? Well it’s because of Food.  Everybody who has ever ridden a plane before knows that if you’re not a first class passenger, you have to contend with foodstuff that has not been freshly prepared.  It’s not as if I am insulting the people who prepare airplane food it’s just that they have to prepare a vast amount of food in a short amount of time that the quality is somewhat below par. 
I don’t know about you but any food that is not steaming in front of me is a bland fare.  However despite my aversion to traveling I always enjoy the moment when I arrive home.
The familiarity of my spices and kitchen utensils soothes the weary traveler in me , especially when I use them to cook for my children.
