I’ve always been honest about not being a good cook. I can cook, but only simple dishes and not the type like those culinary experts do which is something that I dream of learning someday. So, when my fiancé shared with me the photos of the food that they had on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve which his sister-in-law prepared, I couldn’t help but be envious of the delights she put upon the table. She doesn’t just cook well, as per my fiancé who has been enjoying her cooking for years; she also has this special creativity that she always adds to her food preparation – a touch of creativity that really made me delighted. I’ve included photos here for you to see. See those marshmallow snowmen she made? And those ginger bread cookies? They are simply awesome.

But not to worry, because I know for certain that she will share her Holiday baking recipes with me pretty soon. That’s one thing that my fiancé assured me. He’s going to ask his sister-in-law to teach me her cooking and baking skills – something that I really look forward to knowing real soon. I really admire her ability to prepare sumptuous dishes like that. She hasn’t gone to any culinary school at all. Some of it she learned herself on her own and some were shared with her by her family and friends in the old time tradition of southern mountain cooking.

I do wonder though if I will already be able to sample her cooking by next Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. If the processing of our papers will fall in the right place the way we’ve planned it to, then, most probably, I’ll be enjoying such succulent dishes at my first ever Thanksgiving celebration. Just thinking about it makes me really giddy with excitement. I can’t wait to celebrate those special occasions with them as well as enjoying the food.
