I don't know why it is but for some reason, the first thing I do when I enter the home, after I greet my parents of course, is check out what's cooking on the stove, or what has just been baked! There is always tons of food!!! And it's always good!I walk over to the stove, lift the lids of whatever pots are there. Perhaps do a taste test if applicable...
I then check out the counter tops... anything to taste there?
Lastly, I open the fridge to check out what's new in there.
I just love my parents place! So much interesting food.
It's impossible to leave the place without feeling stuffed. I do it to myself all the time! If it's not the food, it's the countless coffees I seem to have while I'm there. Why does coffee taste better at my mums?
Or perhaps it's just that it all tastes better when we're sitting around a table talking about things.
It's nice and comforting and hopefully, my kids will feel the same about coming back to their childhood home when they've got families of their own.

I can totally see it happening. I totally remember your mum's cooking, and I have no doubt that if I were visiting - I would be leaving the house so stuffed from all the good cooking that I'd be waddling out of the door instead of walking.
