The Heart of the Home

Welcome to my kitchen! Making Love in the Kitchen is entirely centered around food. Sorry to disappoint all you perverts out there! The title is "Making 'Love' in the Kitchen", not "50 Ways to have Dirty Sex in the kitchen". There will be no kinky sex talk or the like involving images food, kitchen appliances, or countertop surfaces n this blog. So, if the latter is what you were hoping to find here, you may now go back to perusing the Internet for another porn site, you sick and disgusting Horndog. Notice I did not say Corndog... that would be "food". Get it? "Never the twain shall meet" (Rudyard Kipling)! .....At least not on this blog....

Now where was I...? Ahhh yes... the kitchen is the heart of the home, the focal point where family and friends gather to eat together, share stories together, laugh together, and simply put...bond. VoilĂ ! Love have been made.

Why do we all congregate in the kitchen the kitchen? It the food, my friends. while all that bonding is going on, the food supplies us with comfort, visual interest, and tastes and smells that will follow us throughout our lives by providing us with dear to the heart memories. We may be reminded through our scents and tastes of Gramma pulling out a hot pan of fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven, or Mom slaving over a hot stove making her homemade fettuccini and chicken while quizzing us on our spelling homework. Perhaps we are reminded of the fun snow-day off from school 20 years previous due to a freak storm that hit the night before, as we take a bite of a similarly prepared bowl of oatmeal topped with pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The point is that the focus of the home is usually the goings-on in the kitchen.
