I Eat Therefore I Am.......Fatter/Happier/Less Hungry

At my age the pleasures in life have gotten simpler. The big pleasure, the one I can engage in without injury to myself or others is eating. I use to find it amusing that my mother would travel to interesting places and the first comment about her travels upon her return would be the food. And she could tell you what she ate at each meal. Now I understand. How marvelous is it to eat with friends and to eat great food. I think about it everyday. I think about tomatoes when they are in season and homemade tapande on fresh sourdough bread. I think about cheese and olives and grilled halibut. I can taste grilled fennel with olive oil and a little good white wine. Here's to good food everyday.
