Do you eat dessert? What would be your favorite choice?
Do you share your food when you eat out with others? Mmmm, taste this. One dessert two spoons.
Do you like candy? What is your favorite?
I ask because it occurs to me that in this hurry up world we live in, food has a special place. Some people use it to comfort or entertain, others use it just for nourishment, some dissect it wanting to know how many carbs, fat, etc. One thing that a growing number of people have in common is the need to eat on the run, get food fast. Seldom do we take the time to think about our favorite food. It is more about what can we get quickly.
Gosh, we are in such a hurry that now we don't even need to take the time to suck a lifesaver to get a fresh tasting mouth. We can simply put a Listerine strip in our mouth and it will instantly dissolve.
My challenge to you this week is to think about what makes up your favorite meal and eat it. Slow down long enough to savor the tastes. Don't wait until Thanksgiving to make a special meal the center of your day.
Enjoy your favorite food. You are special, you deserve a succulent treat.
