My friend Becky is near and dear to my heart. She is smart, compassionate, soulful, thoughtful – I’m thankful to know her. She was born on Cinco de Mayo; we celebrated Cinco de Becky last week with “tapas” at her house. It is so wonderful to know people who LOVE food. It’s even better when these same people all bring food to a party.

Cooking is a an experience that I savor daily, no matter how busy I constantly seem to be. It is one of the few times each day that I am actually living in the moment. Instead of worrying, running through an endless task list, etc., I am simply thinking about what I am doing. Actually, I am also greatly anticipating the meal that I will soon be eating, so I suppose I’m not totally in the moment… Cooking, EATING, preparing a meal for someone – this is truly a pleasure to me. Pairing simple, whole ingredients together to make something gloriously delicious not only sustains my body, but it also sustains me in a holistic way that I can’t completely describe. It just feels good.
