Mom went down to the kitchen where Alex was busily chopping up some
vegetables and had something sauteing on the stove.
Here was her big boy making dinner just like he has since he could
stand and reach the counter.
Now his belly pushed him away from the counter top making him have to
work at chopping the veggies a little more difficult. Nobody trusts a
skinny cook he always says and mom had to agree.
What made it interesting was that no one in her family or Alex's
father's family was fat but here was her boy bigger than the both of
his parents put together and still just 19 years old.
He had really chosen the right school to go to when he decided to go
to culinary school. He learned a lot and there were no others that
were as passionate about food as he was. It was amazing, Alex's mother
thought, how well suited he was to cooking. Almost as thought he was
designed to be a cook.
Now if he could just find someone to love him for who he was he would
be complete.
