for my ma...

shopped, boiled, cut, chopped, shredded, peeled, marinated, wrapped, stir fried, washed and cleaned the kitchen for tomorrows meal.  from start to finish in preparation only to finish up tomorrow.  it took 12 hours with a 2 hour break late afternoon to take miss girly to basketball practice.  lol...and that's with the girls helping me with a few of the tasks.  

because cooking is not my forte' and it's not exactly something i enjoy doing... i do it for my family and that's the joy i get from it.  so it really made me appreciate my mom so much more.  years of seeing her host for the big holiday family parties and being there as she planned, stressed, shopped for the food, boiled, cut, shredded, peeled, etc all day was definitely something i took for granted.  so thank you MA for all of your time, effort and love through your cooking...past, present and future.  I love you...
