uhmm..yeaa.

Date a girl who cooks. Date a girl who spends her
money on blenders instead of clothes. She has
problems with closet space because she has too
many cookbooks. Date a girl who has a list of
recipes she wants to make, who has had a Bon Appetit membership since
she was twelve. Find a girl who cooks. You'll know that she does
because she'll always smell like baking bread.
She's the one lovingly looking over the spice rack
in the grocery store, the one who quietly cries out
when she finds the seasoning she wants. You see
the weird chick sniffing the fruit in a farmers market? That's the
cook. They can never resist
smelling the produce, especially when it is ripe. She's the girl in
the coffee shop that asks the
cashier if she can taste test everything. If you take
a peek at her cake, it's been disemboweled, each
element separated from the other as she tried to
figure out what each ingredient is. She's engrossed
in the savory experience. Lost in her taste buds. Sit down. She might
give you a smile, as most girls
who cook like to cook for people. Ask her if she
likes the cake. Buy her another mug of Adagio Thai Chai tea.
Let her know what you really think of dark
chocolate. See if she's ever made turducken.
Understand that if she says she likes foie gras she's
just saying that to sound sophisticated. Ask her if
she loves Julia or would like to be Julia. It's easy to date a girl
who cooks. Give her rolling
pins for her birthday, basting brushes for
Christmas and bread pans for anniversaries. Give
her the gift of tastes in baskets, in bottles. Give her
Bordeaux, Turkish Delight, Anjou pears. Let her
know that you understand that food is love. If you find a girl who
cooks, keep her close. When
you find her in the kitchen at 2 AM, everyone
around her stupefied into food comas and the
counters littered with vegetable peel and mounds
of sugar, help her clean it. Then lick the bowl
together. You will propose in a winery in France. Or while
frosting on a cake. Or very casually in a pizzeria
when she needs some comfort food. You will smile so hard you will
wonder why your
heart hasn't burst and bled out all over your chest
yet. You will taste the lusciousness of your lives,
have kids with strange names and even stranger
tastes. She will introduce your children to
peppermint hot cocoa and alcoholic apple-pear cider, maybe in the same
day. You will walk the
winters of your old age together and she will
drizzle maple syrup on the snow while you shake
the ice off your boots. Date a girl who cooks because you deserve it. You
deserve a girl who can give you the most delicious
life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony,
and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then
you're better off alone. If you want the world and
the worlds beyond it, date a girl who cooks.
