So food. Yes, food. I have not been experimenting and trying new things kitchen lately. I have been on Twitter.com (@SandraMoves) tweeting about my favorite local food places, but have not been aggressive about jumping in the cook books and getting it ON in the kitchen. I started to think about the other day, why? Cooking relaxes me; so why have I not be eager to dive into new recipes? Then, it came...BING! The REASON! All I have wanted lately are the foods that provide memories, sanity, and warmth to my soul. Recipes that remind me of a moment in time (smells, touch, the people associated), especially, when I am cooking with my daughter. It's been foods like homemade baked mac & cheese, cornbread stuffing, potato and leek soup, lasagna, sauteed okra with vinegar, baked chicken with stewed potatoes that have made me excited about being in the kitchen. I was feeling bad about my lack of adventure in the kitchen, but then realized that like art, food imitates life. My home is my sanctuary (the place that provides support, sanity, and love) and the amazing family and friends that dwell in it give me LIFE. So, making these classic dishes have done just the same to my nose, belly and soul..given me life, support, and LOVE.
I promise to be more adventurous in the months to come but for now I am staying with what I know.
