We had a family outing yesterday that turned into an "Ah, Ha!" moment for me. We saw an amazing movie that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves to cook or Julia Childs. We saw "Julie and Julia" and as I said, it as truly amazing! I have always loved Julia Childs and would love to be even half the cook she was. Learning about her life and cooking disasters gave me a small sliver of hope. I will never be as good a cook as my husband, but I can sure try (at least, once I am done with school).
But, I am getting away from my "Ah, Ha" moment. Julia Childs loved food and she loved her husband. She found a way to share both of her loves. Eric is an incredible cook--he is very humble about it but even his "disasters" (as he descr'ibes them) are delicious and truly appreciated by those who love him. Which is where my "Ah, Ha" moment came! Eric loves to cook because he loves us! He has a wonderful talent and we are so fortunate to have him WANT to share it with us. Many people who have sampled his delights, have commented that he should go into catering and he always responds that he would no longer enjoy it if he did. Again, he loves to cook because he loves us! Aren't we so lucky?!
