Words as good as a Beurre Blanc...




As you can probably tell, I'm a food blogger wanna-be. I just have a few too many interests to keep focus. And the new 9-5 keeps my blog time to a minimum.

As you can probably tell, I'm a food blogger wanna-be. I just have a few too many interests to keep focus. And the new 9-5 keeps my blog time to a minimum.

But here's what I aspire to. Some wonderful prose from Guest Author Katie Pizzuto, writing on BasicJuice, one of my favorite Food/Wine blogs. An excerpt:

"There are people I know who could care less if they ate the same thing for dinner most nights of the week...food is sustenance to them, not pleasure. And I also know people that can’t stand having to come home each night and prepare dinner for their family after a hard day’s work...cooking is a chore to them, not a reprieve. I fall into neither one of those categories, and I’ve come to believe that this is one of the few true dichotomies that exist in life—food is either a sensual (of the senses) pleasure to you or it isn’t...there simply isn’t any gray area. If you find that when you plan a vacation your standard MO includes researching the best local eateries, you know which side of the fence you sit on.

[edit]

For those of us that relish preparing food, the kitchen is a place of transformation [edit]—not only in the actual process of cooking, but in the act of feeding others, because when you cook with your soul, people can taste it."
