Food is not just something we consume. Yes it gives us energy and nourishment and is a necessity of life...but, like little Remi in Ratatouille, I think food is exciting and thrilling. The flavors on this earth are incredible! Curry, cinnamon, basil, cocoa, cumin, rosemary, nutmeg, lemon, cream, cheese....the flavors and spices of this world seem endlessly delicious to me. It is a special time whenever I get excited about a new recipe to cook up in my kitchen! It is a gratifying feeling to make a dish that is met with "oohs" and "ahhs" by those you've served. Food completes any party, any special occasion, and gathering and any home table. That's why we have party foods and comfort foods and midnight snacks. We all love food! And something that is so important is liking good food! There is a lot of garbage eaten in our modern busy era and it's sad when a child can't identify certain vegetables like a potato or beat. There is a great importance to honor and love good foods again, to love cooking at home, to learn some gardening skills, to fill our grocery carts with more produce than processed.
I am thrilled for the opportunity to write these articles each month and to learn more from all the other authors! Food is wonderful, don't ya think!
