It’s incredible, eating home-cooked meals everyday.

My Mom’s a miracle in the kitchen. She never runs out of ideas, or more importantly, her son’s favourite dishes. I had no idea I had so many “favourite” dishes. Reminds me of Blue and the endless stream of the best film(s) he’s ever seen.

I told her Dad’s put on more weight since I first touched down some weeks back. More flesh and colour to his cheeks. He looked as healthy as he really was.

My Mom told me I looked the same. I was taken aback at first, but then I feel better too, so she must be right. It’s in the food, it’s in the cooking.

A pinch of love.
