Excellent recipe..I completely understand how you feel and am sure your missing your mom..A small suggestion just be careful.I know you don't like when he's leaving you alone and going out with hisfriends.Just relax this is going to be a habit forever.Coz guys dont change they need their friends.Dont argue just treat him with respect and just be involved with your hobbies.

remember the sayings of La. Sa. Ra [Lalgudi Saptarishi Ramamrutham] , a tamil writer, when i read your post on Ma.
he said something like "there is only a SINGLE Mom in the whole world. whenever anyone says mom, we always think OUR OWN MOM"
second, i remeber the dialogue in Dil Se(1992) on the most beautiful thing in the whole world is the PALM OF MY MOM.
thanks dear for mixing a bit of feelings in your post. we should feel human to get MOVED/TOUCHED. your posting is just that. it's not JUST A RECIPE.. it's love!
