Ah ha moment
I was filling out the Food is Information sheet, and the first food choice I wrote was "cookies" I sat for a minute thinking about how it made me feel...and I wrote "it makes me feel like home" . When I thought about why it made me feel that way I started crying. We moved from Vancouver to the ranch in the Interior when I was 11. I had to take a large part in running the house and looking after my younger sister and brothers as my Dad worked for BC Tel, and my Mom would be out in the field. So I did a lot of the cooking and baking, which I ended up being pretty good at. It was always a validation to me to be praised on my skills in the kitchen as I was never a great athlete or scholar. When my kids were younger they never had store bought cookies or treats. When their friends would come over they were always so happy to have homemade stuff (and my kids were excited to have store bought when they went to their friends 😄) Once I started working in my current job, cooking for gatherings is a huge part of who I am. I didn't realize how much my worth was wrapped up in being a "good cook". I am sitting here right now struggling not to go bake something right now, cause that's what I do when I'm home and at loose ends, or just feel the need to create something good.
