one more gone

So I realized something else last night. One more little thing that I am giving up by staying single, is the joy of cooking for someone. I love to plan out meals and to work to provide a great dinner for a man. When I was married, I used to love making a pie or baking bread just before my husband would get home so that he would walk into a house that smells wonderful. Not that he would even notice. I still loved filling my home with sweet scents of apple pie and italian bread. It may sound silly, but trust me, I want to work to make something that someone truly enjoys. My kids enjoy speghetti and mac and cheese. I want to know what my husband's favorites foods are and come up with creative recipes that he would love. I want to create a home that when he walks in the door, it is a sanctuary for him. The sights, the sounds, the smells, everything.
