I definitely have to focus on this aspect because I've seen that so many others have said a thing or two on the others that came to my mind. Just so you know, this is going to be my response to this week's #kiss which will be ending in few hours from now. When I saw the blogging idea I was not sure of what to say until I went to read from others. Really there are a lot of things that can be done easily but somehow people just make so much out of them and it's really crazy for me most times.
At this point you might want to imagine a mother giving her child a reason why he or she has to take his or her bath at a particular time. Something you ask them to do for their own good but then they want to find all the reasons not to do it at that time due to over thinking. Life would be easy if we just get the basis of things and then build from there. We become too extravagant at some point in our life's especially when we want to do something new or throw a party or go to a new place or when we are expecting a guest we see as very important.
Don't get me wrong, it's not bad to be prepared for all of these things but then there I believe there is a lot easier and better way to do them and get a great result but somehow we just prefer to make things complicated for ourselves. I always believe that finding the balance of things is just the best for anyone and not either overdoing something or under doing it, it just have to be balanced!
Cooking a meal for a guest you are expecting at home is not bad but then, there are some people, especially mothers that take this rather too seriously and it sometimes gives me concerns. I was privilege to live with a woman who I took as a mother, she was a great cook and she even did that as a profession at some point in her life until she had to stop for some reason best known to her (I think the reason might even be related to how she take cooking too seriously but she didn't really mention it). She has a very big family and because of that, we mostly had visitors coming over to pay a visit and she always like entertaining them very well.
There was this faithful Sunday when she told me she was expecting some guests and we had to make necessary preparations. As usual, I knew it was going to be stressful because she loves putting herself and almost everyone under pressure at this time. She was always too conscious about everything she does and that was not so good for her because she was not getting any younger and it made me felt really worried for her because that's what she always does whenever she wants to prepare meal for her guests.
Aside her, I have also met a lot of persons who are also like that and I won't blame them that much because it's not easy to cook for guest but then I do wish they can go a little easy on themselves and be relaxed while doing what they do. This might not be something people see as a fuss but then I do think it is because it gives people unnecessary worries. There is nothing like being relaxed when doing something, it will help you think very well and also help others not to worry so much about you.
Whenever I want to make a meal for a guess I always try to go easy on myself and just prepare the meal as I will do for my own family, that way I won't feel so tensed and pressured and I will definitely deliver a good meal, hehe. So what do you think, have you ever seen people get all worked up just to prepare a meal for a guess before? What was your thoughts or experience? And also, how do you cope when you want to prepare a meal for your guest? Feel free to share them below at the comment section.
Until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
