There are so many things to say about friends, with friends, over food. Yes, food! Ah, lovely! High tea with pastries that could send you to heaven and back, laughter, and fun...
Every time I gab my way through the phone (despite hurting my neck because I don't have a headset), I imagine that I am sitting with the person I am speaking with. I visualize how she laughs, her gestures, her eyes, and her presence.
But of course it sounds strange because as I am holding the phone in between my ears and shoulders, I am also either doing laundry, mopping the floor, cooking, washing the dishes, bathing my babies... get the picture? The thing is I can't live with my thoughts while doing chores. I need something else to do. And I can't just be on the phone, I'd be guilty as hell if I just sit idly.
So, why food? Because almost always my conversations would center on food -- what I'm cooking, what I'm eating, what I plan to eat, what I'd like to eat, the food I'm allergic to, the recipes, and etc. And there is this unexplainable comfort that binds my friends over food... it is always about food.
My wish is to gather them in my kitchen, have a cookfest, savour the meal as well as their company.
Midnight, I was roasting chicken after I baked banana bread and my only wish is to have someone to share a meal with hahay!
