Cooking for Home
Is where the heart is the prologue to preparing a meal?
What someone has done during the day inspires what is done
by that same one during the preparation of foodstuffs, which
may be reflected in the mood upon and of the meal--from
taste to presentation.
There are extraordinary stories about the sentimental things
someone does to the repast in the kitchen before sitting
down to eat and sharing the meal with their companion(s)
in the dining room to reminisce the musings that currently
invented the day. Such ruminations underlie comfort food
anticipation or poisonous first-bite anxiety.
However, the ordinary home-cooked meal, prepared
for dinner, is the essence of distractions based upon the
complications of one's day--simplified-made,
consumable.
For why does one take pause before a meal, but to be reminded
of home, and to give thanks for making and consuming a living?

Cooking at Home
Cooking brings alive
What is known
From the day.
Intensive may be the labor--
Not so much wasteful,
But absorptive in time--
Relationships well done,
Convivial entertainment.
Intensive may be the capital--
Not so much costly,
But manageable in time--
Relationships just done,
Leisurely marketed.
Intensive may be the return--
Not so much vested,
But attentive in time--
Relationships rarely done,
Risk averted.
At home is where
The heart rests,
Remaining the day.
