As I write this it's 5:04 in the morning and Jon is outside smoking with a belly full of Spam musubi. They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and I think with Jon this is especially true. Being that Jon's health issues lie in his stomach, there are times (less often now as he's getting better slowly) where he doesn't feel well and is unable to even think about food. After 4 days of not eating this week, he's finally gained his appetite this weekend and we've been able to do our favorite thing together. . .which is eating if you haven't caught on yet. From the last post you saw that we had an eating day on Saturday. Now, it's very early Monday morning and a few hours ago around 3:30 a.m. he complained that he was hungry so I cooked up some rice and spam and split some nori (seaweed paper) so he could have some musubi.
I'm always glad to cook for Jon because we both share a love for food. I'm even happier doing when I know he hasn't eaten in a while. He was hesitant to let me cook for him being it was so late, but I assured him I wanted to do this. For those who think Spam is something GROSS or for poor people, you clearly have never eaten it correctly. I like to have my Spam fried with eggs and rice or in musubi form. To make a musubi, you basically slice up the spam, fry them up and wrap them in nori with rice. Voila! Musubi!
I sat and had a cup of tea while he ate. For those wondering, I have my tea with sugar and milk. This picture was taken while the tea was seeping.
This got me thinking though. If I didn't love and care about Jon so much, I would've never offered to cook at 4:00 in the morning. In fact, if it weren't for love there are a lot of things that would never be done. It's been a while since I've had such strong feelings for someone else. I know it's a bit cruel and strange to say but being with Jon, I realize that I didn't care much for my last ex. As corny as it sounds I've never cared as much for another person as I care about Jon. I see it in the crazy things I do for him. Like cook him meals at crazy hours and patiently wait for him to wake up long enough to spend some time together. The sun is coming up and as tired as I am, it makes me happy to see how happy my gestures make him and how much he appreciates them.
