respecting food

Some people love food. I mean they really 

LOVE food. Not like I love food.

Some people love it like it's wonderful -

and life sustaining - cuz it is.... of course.

They honor good food, and respect it.

I love food like Fat Bastard loves food....

Get In Ma Bellah!

Not like some people - who make a special time for it.

Even a simple thing like broth is a treat - 

something to look forward to - not something get through

as fast as possible - and on to the next thing...

They set aside a time and place - where nothing comes first 

to interrupt the pleasure of the meal... Not just the eating.

Some people love every aspect of food - the shopping,

the cooking, the clean-up afterwards... it's a labor of love for them.

They have special and wonderful tools for cooking food -

some of which are handed down - like a treasure - a gift!

Even beer and coffee have a special place - an honorary place - 

in society and in life...

Little ceremonies are built around food

because it is so excellent

Even the storage tins are quality - and show respect 

for the food they protect

Some simple and basic things that "make" the meal

The love for food extends into decor -

And display - as though food dishes are art itself - and beauty.

I have nothing that matches - nothing for show....

I spend as little time as possible in the kitchen -

(as if that's somehow a good thing)

I think it is a chore to clean up after myself

My whole outlook toward food - and what it 

"brings to the table" is changing!

Finally for the better!

Hope your day is A++
