At family gatherings there was always so much food to the point where by the end of the night everyone would be able to bring a whole meal home. Though some people would think we waste food or just cook too much, but having 20+ family member wasting food or having less food is not an option. My uncles and aunts love to cook especially when it comes authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I grew up eating authentic vietnamese cuisine and just several years ago when my uncle and aunts move to Missouri from Vietnam they would cook weird food and I would ask my mother what is this and she would say it's authentic vietnamese food, so I guess I didn't try all authentic vietnamese food. When I think of food I would instantly remember of my favorite time which would be afternoon prayers. My church have afternoon prayers almost every Sunday and it consist of going to the members of our church homes and pray for their love ones that have passed away. After prayer the family that we pray for would invite the church to stay and have dinner. I enjoy it because I get to pray for others, connect with God, and also with the company of my family, relatives, and the members of the church having dinner together under one roof brings me joy and happiness.
