Once upon a time, I used to cook frequently and invite friends over. Over the years, I only cook for people who will appreciate the food or the effort I put into. It is a lot of effort and time. Mostly, I end up taking people out to restaurants rather than cook for them. If I cook for you, it means I am really comfortable with you and I love you :). Thats what I hear and feel when my friends serve home cooked food :)
