People are so busy these days that many
people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love
home cooking. The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone
together. In some families, meals are often the only time everyone sees one
another at the same time.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is
that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not
just satisfying a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message, too. The
message says, "I love you."
There is also something about the smell of
home cooking. The smell of home cooking make people of all ages happy. It makes
most of us feel good and loved-even if we are the ones doing the cooking. Next
time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情).
