Making it all more enjoyable!

There have been many things that have made our meals so much more enjoyable this week, just thought I would share a few!

-Watching the Tsunami and Earthquake documentaries from Japan, will for sure put you in check! Count your blessings, be grateful for EVERYTHING you have, cause in a matter of one hour it could be completely washed away...

-Trying new things in the kitchen... usually results in something amazing happening

- doing all things in love, even if you don't feel like it. Remember to have a joyful heart even on the hardest, longest, most grueling days.
-realize that having a kitchen and all it's utilities is a privilege. There are so many in the world who still use fire and wood to prepare meals.
-Spending the precious moments we have with the ones we love the most. Even if all the time we get together is at the dinner table...make the most of it. Enjoy it.
-Take a moment to really look what's around you. The place may not be your ideal at the moment, but I guarantee you can find something to make you appreciate your life.
- Break bread with friends. It's one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. Open your home. Be vulnerable. Don't dress up, don't over-do yourself. Just be you. Share stories, laughter, thoughts.

-In a way it's comforting to know that some will finally find closure after all their loss ten years ago.

We often take food for granted. We just assume we should eat three times a day with snacks in between and dessert afterwards. Sometimes other things that happen in my life or in the world make me really appreciate something as small/huge as food!
