Erica Dixon cooks for her fiancee Scrappy...and Twitter goes in

Lil Scrappy tweeted out this photo
of the meal his fiance, Erica Dixon
prepared for him and their daughter.

Okay, before I show you the Twitter commentary, I want to say I like Erica and Scrappy together, and pray that their relationship blossoms into a beautiful marriage. Now to the matter at hand.

Look... Scrappy was absolutely proud of the food his lady prepared for him. Men love it when a sista can get in the kitchen and put something on a plate, paper or otherwise, so he was thrilled. That, my folks, is a beautiful thing.

People jumped all over the picture and began tearing it apart. Some suggesting that he should leave her because "everything on that paper plate came from out of a box." So what if it did? I guarantee you half of the folks commenting don't have a man to cook for or in reverse don't have a woman who is cooking for them except for their mamas.

Now, did I chuckle when I looked at the plate? Yes, I did. I'm not going to lie. But here's the thing, not everyone is a "from scratch" cooker. I am, because I had to be. My mama taught me how to cook when she went back to school when I was in high school.

You don't just come here knowing how to cook. It is taught. Erica can learn how to whip up a gourmet meal. Heck she may already know how, and just didn't have time to do it tonight. And about paper plates...I buy them all the time because I do not feel like washing a crap load of dishes.

Folks worry about the wrong things. She took time to cook up a good meal for her family. Her man was PROUD of that meal and wanted to share his joy with the world. Now that's something special. Ain't nothing wrong with that. People are so cruel on Twitter...I mean downright will have you wanting to find them and do harm type of cruel.
