Simple Salad

Every time my mom comes for a visit I find myself revealing some new self discovery or declaring a desired goal. As my mother, she seems to already know exactly what I'm about to say. 

When I told her I think I'm pretty creative. She said, "I know" 

I told her I decided to go back to school and she says "I was wondering when you'd be ready"

Some things are as certain as the sun - like a daughter's desire to constantly impress her own parents and their way of being more proud than impressed by anything you do. 

During Ma's latest trip, I was determined to show her just how much I like cooking and how skilled I was becoming at it. And all she wanted was a Cobb salad. 

"You don't have to keep cooking, let's just have a salad. All I need is some egg and bacon and I'll be straight," she says. 

But Ma! I'm trying to demonstrate my culinary creativity. She gets it, she wants a salad. 

So I made her one and it was the best looking thing I made all weekend.
