People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem,
because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings
everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same
time.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who
makes some cookies (小甜饼) is not just satisfying (满足 ) a child's sweet tooth. She or he is sending a
message. The message says, " I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you. "
There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people
of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved-even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood(心情 ).
