Love + Food = Mom

I can’t be within a five mile radius of my mother and not find myself in the possession of a pot of freshly cooked beans….or any large quantity of food for that matter. In fact, I think I gained five pounds just by picking her up at the airport. She is notorious for asking me and my sister if we’re hungry while simultaneously piling mountains of rice, beans, chicken, enchiladas, (INSERT MEXICAN DISH OF YOUR CHOICE) onto our plate as if the survival of the planet depended on it. She spent a good portion of today cooking pots of chicken and rice and (guess?) beans for me to have for the next three years. Like a good daughter I consumed her cooking for lunch and dinner (and will tomorrow be having it for breakfast tomorrow). There is no confusion about the meaning of food to this woman; for my mother, food IS love.

Consequently, when my mother’s around I feel some added permission to eat to my heart’s desire. “She keeps feeding me!” I say as I plough into the box of See’s candy’s that accompany’s birthdays and holidays like a Hallmark card. My grandmother was a dipper at See’s candy for many years (like Lucy) and so, with my mother’s support I have deemed the consumation of these delectables as a sacred act of love and loyalty to my grandmother and far above my crass addiction to sugar and chocolate.

It seems that as I get older, the Compulsive Feeding of Others gene has emerged. In recent years, like my mother, I tend to show those I love how I feel about them by shoving food down their esophaguses. And if it weren’t for my mom I might have to do with mac n’ cheese, instead of enchiladas, guacamole, and frijoles.

Just for today, I love my mom.
