[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 653408, member: 17461"] I love that story. :O) Cedar I've done dinners for family, but the difference is that the satisfaction I take from it is the way everything sparkles, the way the candles change all our faces, the time when everyone is together and laughing. I could actually care less about the food, as long as it looks pretty. True. D H is Italian, right? And though we have been married forever, I am still taken aback at the way he thinks about happiness and food and regular dinner time and grocery shopping. (Which he took over the second he retired and which he does [I]every single day[/I].) In Italy, there is a phrase for the visiting we do on our daily shopping rounds. I cannot spell it correctly, but it sounds like "commin non". That is what D H does since his retirement. "Commin non". If you ask his mom what she has been up to, today? "Oh, commin non." Remember the scene in The Godfather when the grandfather is examining fruit? Or when he is working in his tomatoes with his grandson? That is just how my D H and his family are. One of his sisters even has a mustache. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
