"Do you like Butter Chicken? " Not a question many guys will ask the girl they are dating within the first week. When I asked that question to M she discerned the intensity in my words and while trying her best to curb a flurry of giggles she looked at me with those soft eyes said 'yes'. For me that 'yes' was right up there with the big "yes" that would come four years later. Not so much for the fact that she liked my most ultimately favorite dish, but because I knew then that she understood my passion for food and one hurdle had crossed between us being completely made for each other!
Love grows in funny ways, and when you look under the exterior structure of sights , sounds and smells you discover the foundation built on common passions! The continuing forums on which you can keep on conversing and participating all your life. Not a surprise then that one of those forums for me and M has turned out to be food! From trying out each other recipes to fighting over who is going to cook the next meal , we have done it all. All those amazing places that we have eaten out at wouldn't be that amazing if M wasn't there to share my critique and drink in the ambiance.
Yesterday we celebrated 5 years to the day we went from being just friends to oh-my-god we are dating! And though M wasn't there with me on that day , I finished my day by trying to perfect the recipe for Chicken Marsala which I plan to cook for her next time we are together.
Hey, if food and love were not made for each other I wonder if I would bother cooking!!
