Trying to figure out in which way domestic is being used

After describing what I was going to make my family for dinner (I am a stay at home mom) a former teacher/friend who works outside the home wrote:

WOW-are we ever domestic!!!!

what type of domestic is she refering to (if you can tell)
  

Top answer

Anonymous WOW-are we ever domestic!! She didn't say a domestic , so domestic is not a noun. It's an adjective meaning "devoted to home duties and pleasures".
