These Culinary Thymes

Once in a while you see or hear something that would give you a good idea.  Not so long ago, it was actually just this morning I received an email from my friend Lina.  Now, Lina is an artist…and a really good one at that.  She had seen a picture on another blog, and it made her think of me.  The statement holds very true, that you should cook with love and eat with passion.  Those of us who choose to still indulge “fast food” need not apply, but they lack the ingredients needed.  If you look at passion, food plays a big role here, because food can drive our senses.  For example, chocolate, strawberries and many other foods get us going…if you know what I mean.  Ladies, try this one the next time you pick up that steamy romance novel.  Scent the room with Lavender, eat some chocolate and have some wine.  I bet you will have a very “invigerating” night.

Cooking should also drive us with passion and love, because there are few things in this world that give us such pleasure as putting your heart and soul into a meal.  It should not be viewed as a chore, but just the oposite.  I don’t spend this much time with food because I hate it.  On the contrary, being the way I am is more like art.  Ask any artist and they will tell you that paint, or clay or even metal are in their blood.  If this is true, and it is…I have food running through my veins.

Lina has also inspired…with an awesome idea for a cafe’.  Now, the name will remain a secret…for now.

That’s it for now…hope you had a good time.  I will see you all again soon.  Bye.
