Day Seventy-Nine: Home Cookin'

What could be better than coming home to visit parents and having some good home cooking waiting for you?

On the menu today was Tuna Fish Casserole (being a meatless Friday during Lent). These colorful measuring spoons hang in Mom's kitchen, and no doubt have a part in wonderful meals that she makes.

The kitchen and utensils aren't the only colorful things about the home cooking, though - Dad often comments on how "colorful" the meals themselves are! Indeed, there usually is a variety of colors and tastes on the dinner plate, and we have been blessed (and spoiled) to have such a wonderful cook in the family.

But Dad, as pretty a shade of green as Brussels sprouts might be, that still doesn't hide the fact that they are icky vegetables that Mom is making me eat!
