Food is an edible expression of God's love.

I hate to cook. I see it as a waste of time. Why should I spend so much time cooking when I can just buy food. I just don't have the patience to cook but today, for some bizarre reason, I decided to prepare jollof rice. One of the most important spice for jollof rice is maggie. You should use two to three cubes to get the desired spicey taste. Guess what? I forgot to put maggie in my pot of rice. I also didn't put tomatoes. I was in the middle of my cooking when I realized that there was no tomato sauce anywhere in the kitchen. There was no tomato sauce but the show must go on. So I added plenty pepper to the food. If you know anything about cooking jollof rice, you would agree that this was a terrible idea.
Come to think of it, why would any sane human being forget to put maggie in his pot of rice? I am someone that get's easily bored. Cooking is boring to me. I don't like doing the same thing over and over again especially if the outcome is going to be the same. So when I was cooking, I was listening to my favorite speaker Rev Gbeminiyi Eboda. He was talking about having an abundance spirit. I was more interested in his teaching than in my cooking. The result is that at the end of the 40Minutes I spent in the kitchen, I had made enough blunders to ruin my meal. I'm used to making cooking mistakes. The only time I cook well is if I'm cooking for other people. I don't know why.
I love food. I love good food! There are some moments in my children that I remember as divine moments. I remember the first time I tasted shortbread. OMG!!! There was this Christmas when my mum took us to visit one of our very rich Aunt. She prepared the best fried-rice in the history of mankind. I don't remember anything about that Christmas except that the rice was out of this world and then we had shortbread for dessert. I may not like to cook but I appreciate good food a lot. I'm not the type that usually selects food. I can eat pretty much anything, as long as it is not poison and it is edible. I know how to abound and abase. But when I eat good food, I appreciate it.
Gratitude
So I had a terrible breakfast which is entirely my fault but I'm grateful to God for the gift of food. Thank God that I can cook even if I'm a terrible cook sometimes. Thank God that I can eat. When you realize that there are some people who have no food to eat; when you realize that some people have food but they are too sick to eat, you would be grateful.
Special thanks to the following VIP's who took part in yesterdays challenge. Thank you!
