Home Made Dishes

Just back from dinner, feeling disgusted of the food that i had just eaten. It was too salty, too sour, too sweet, too oilly, too much and more importantly, too unhealthy. It was the same few shops that i had my dinner and lunch everyday. For a student like me who has to leave hometown and away from home, eating outside is part of my daily routine. Nobody there to cook for me, nor that i can cook myself. Not that i don't know how to cook, but to cook for every meal for a student like me is too much, too tedious, and moreover it's forbidden to use hot plate in the hostel as to prevent accident. So, it's almost unavoidable to eat outside.

And now i started to feel how much i miss home cookings. The healthy, warm and delicious home made dishes by your spouse, family or close ones. The fragrant aroma as you arrive home, warm and readily prepared on top of the dining table, and more importantly, to have the important ones around you, waiting you at home with all the dishes on top of the table, waiting for your arrival to start digging in....and this is blissful. Those cookings are special and healthier because they are made with efforts being put onto, as well as the heart, the thoughts of wanna to keep you healthy and happy from your beloved ones, the ones that care for you. You can't really ask for more, can you?

Yes, the dishes might look simple, they might not be extremely tasty, nor they are wonderfully done with special recipes or ingredients. But there's something special inside in those simple looking dishes, one beautiful ingredient called love. It's not to be seen, nor to be tasted, it's there to be felt, using your heart. Most people won't find anything special about home made cookings, but for people like me who have stayed outside for quite some time, these cookings mean lots for me. Yea, i miss them...

I couldn't be sure of my future, and all the clouds of dreams, including this one, to have someone's cookings on top of dining table when i got home from work. Will it come true? I closed my eyes, and maybe the next time i open my eyes in the future, they will all come true...
