DD16.75 has a young man whom we think is "Mighty fine". He has approached the entire situation with confidence, honor and respect. We have met his parents.
This young man "properly" shook our hand to meet us day one and walks said DD16.75 home from school when possible and spends time with us. I usually put their idle hands to work making dinner AND washing up. Which he thinks is quite culinary-arts-like, for the daughter of B&B owners. He has fun and DD16.75 has fun. "She" doesn't understand why Mom does this...but Mom understands why Mom does this.
Last night, the other shoe dropped...
We were having dinner, which he, of course helped prepare. Finding spices such as coriander used on grilled pork chops were a delight and new experience, as he has never had that at home.
I asked him what his favorite restaurant was, to eat out. His reply, and now this is the part that warms my heart... "IHOP"
Really? I say. What is at IHOP that you like so much?
His reply "Breakfast"
"My son you have come to the right place!" I smile.
He will be here on Sunday before church when I am cookin' for guests and the family, so he can try pecan pancakes for the first time. I tell you, I like this kid!
