Gratitude Project: Great Food
“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. The you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” ― Julia Child, Mastering the Art of French Cooking
The fall is a foodie time of year, let’s be honest. We’ve moved from on-the-run tacos and light salads after swimming to braised pork chops and all-day stews, fresh pies and butter cookies with hot coffee. It’s the perfect time of year to savor something new.
Last night, I made grilled mahi mahi (on the salt block, Adam is becoming a master at it, and it’s our favorite way to eat fish these days), sauteed broccolini and baked potatoes. It’s a simple meal made delicious with a few perfect spices and a little butter, which, honestly, is just the best kind of dinner, isn’t it?
I’m so grateful to live in a great food town, to have a husband who’s as excited about my cooking as I am, a collection of exciting cookbooks for inspiration and the freedom to try new things when the mood strikes.
“People who love to eat are always the best people.” ― Julia Child
