“Mommy, thank you for that dinner, it was so yummy!” That’s what my daughter said to me last Sunday after family dinner. Hearing those words makes my heart sing and make every minute I spend in the kitchen worth it.

This Friday for the Zion Finishing School online we will be discussing Babette’s Feast from 2 to 4 PM MT. This is a beautiful film about a woman who could transform a meal into a love affair. Not every meal of mine is a winner, and I confess that even after 20 years of marriage, I still occasionally burn the food. But I would love it if my family said that of me, that my meals were love affairs that blurred the distinction between nourishing body and spirit.

If cooking dinner is becoming a drag for you, come to this discussion and get some inspiration! Get the movie from the library or Netflix and watch it by Friday. We will also discuss the article by Truman Madsen that references Babette’s Feast as well. Get the article here http://ce.byu.edu/cw/womensconference/archive/1999/madsen_truman.htm We will discuss both the article and the movie. If you want to participate please comment below so I can send you the link. You can either feel doomed to spend hundreds of days for the rest of your life having to cook 3 times a day, or feel honored to have the privilege to serve your family by creating masterpieces of food that nourish mind and spirit. This discussion will help you with the second choice.
