Kyle Dreier - Mr. Critical

One could probably make a pretty quick, and accurate, assumption about what speaks volumes to my love language simply by reading my blog entries. Simplicity (if there’s a way to actually speak that into someone love language) would be one. Another? Let’s see, hmmm … what could it be. Food maybe? (In the Church Lady voice.)

Yes, food is and has been for as long as I can remember a very strong part of my love language. I enjoy a good meal. I enjoy preparing a good meal. I enjoy a good meal being prepared for me.

Love languages are interesting. I find that because I like food I try to use that as a love language to my children. I enjoy doing a big batch of French toast for my kids (although it’s been weeks since I’ve done this because of our new low sugar lifestyle.)

I also enjoy the art of food. “Presentation is everything” is my motto. I also enjoy the adventure of food. Amy and I recently had a nice date evening and at one of our favorite restaurants we let the waiter choose one of our entrees. What he brought our was a fantastically presented and very tasty dish. (I’ll blog on this at a later date.)

Friday night I experienced a carrot cake that was tops. I’m not just saying that. Just to give a little perspective here, you know how most guys at their wedding have a grooms cake? So far all that I’ve seen have been chocolate. Yes, I love chocolate, but at our wedding my grooms cake was carrot.

Friday night’s cake was the best carrot cake I’ve had. I mentioned this to the host, Susan McKinney, who informed me she was the baker. I should have know. She’s an excellent baker, cook, chef … food maker.

So where did this lead? Church Sunday morning I’m handed a half carrot cake! What a great gift. What a huge deposit into my love language account! It was so good, I had to take a photo.

I ate three pieces Sunday.
