I admit it. I think about food pretty much all the time. Always have. Probably always will. Much as I envy those lean, food-nonchalant aliens who look at the clock in surprise and declare their sudden hunger because gee, they haven’t eaten in hours, this has never happened to me. No matter how busy I am, I tend to be perfectly aware that it’s 11:30, 11:45, 11:50, 11:55, 11:56…oh good, noon, time for lunch!
The silver(ware) lining is this: Where I once thought constantly about food in a less-than-healthful way, like a plump raccoon frantic for scraps — what can I nibble? what can I nab? how many calories? is this a “fat” day in which I can’t eat much or a “normal” one in which I can? — now my food-think is calmer, happier, healthier.
Why?
Oh sounds soo yummy! I’ll book my place at your table permantly I think!
Good to hear you are enjoying the whole process of a fine meal – real food style!
Love the pics too.
Home made always tastes the best and if you can buy the freshest ingreadients and locally produced to boot, then they’re always the best tasting meals by far.
I had roasted baby carrots with our dinner tonight fresh from a workmates garden. Sliced with drizzled honey and wrapped in foil – Wow! very nice indeed!
I would have to say that the kitchen is one of my most enjoyable places to be, anticipating the pleasure one of my creations with not only bring to my family and friends but myself as well; call me old fashioned but I love it all.
Enjoy and God Bless.
You’re so slender I can’t imagine you thinking about food all day! If I did I would balloon in no time.
You are fortunate to have so many locally produced good for you foods at hand. Here in Alabama this gets hard in every season but summer. Thankfully, in the summer we have the CO-OP which is great! And as for myself, I am learning the finer arts of HOW to vegetable garden and can my surplus. With the emphasis on learning… the soil here is so different from the soil in my California garden.
So, I may not have eating on my mind all day, but I certainly have a smile on my face (like you!) when my ingredients are fresh from my garden!
Thanks for sharing!
we must be twins seperated at birth! i live for food (oh, and the hubby and kids, you know.) i love to be able to relish a great meal; even a tasty snack. food is comfort; nourishment for the mind, body, and soul.
