Mom!!

In my childhood, i did not know how to mix rice with curry in the correct ratio...some times i mixed less curry with more rice and some times less rice with more curry...as a result its taste was not good...ofcourse i ate many time that less tasty or over tasty mixture of food... but many times, when my mother was eating, i went to her and asked again for food. why because that food was very tasty. i thought she knew how to mix rice with curry in the correct ratio. i liked very much to eat food mixed by our mother. But when i ate food mixed by some other elders in our family and outside my family (neighbours), i could never got that taste....
Is mixing of food and curry in the correct ratio the only reason behind that taste? I don't think so. I think mothers not only mix the curry and food in the correct raio, but they also add their love to that food..........what do u say???
