Four Things I Love About Having a “Cooking Son” (And One Thing I Don’t) via LaurieJStone
I cursed the sight of the stove each night. Now I sometimes go a week without touching it, thanks to my boy. But alas, everything comes at a price. Here are four wonderful things about Paul cooking and one not-so-wonderful thing…
He cooks for company – Like the iconic scene in “2001: A Space Odyssey” when the apes first discover bones as tools, I made a momentous discovery of my own. Like many of these events, it happened by accident. Paul knew we were having company. “What are you making?” he asked. “Probably beef, mashed potatoes, and vegetables,” I said, listing my usual basic fare.
He cooks Sunday dinner – This is where stuff gets really cool… and sometimes unpredictable. Every week Paul has a meal he’s inspired to try. A few weeks back it was braised short ribs. He worked all afternoon and they were fall-off-the-bone delicious. A few weeks before that, it was minestrone soup with homemade garlic bread.
He cooks “just because” — Sometimes Paul makes standard fare like mac and cheese or hamburgers. He’ll have music playing while he dices and chops — everything from Billie Holiday to punk rock .
