Have you ever had a hankering' for something to eat? Ever felt like something in particular? My sweet Steve says no but I have caught him a few times saying, "I sure want such and such....". I replied, "Do you mean you FEEL like having such and such?"
Today we were watching a particular food channel that has a show called, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. They were focusing on fried food. Because I am a Southerner, I loved the topic. I am not as bad as Paula Deen or anything. I do try to eat health and all. But, they had fried hot dogs that really peaked my interest! I wanted to go to the store right away but displayed a serious amount of self control. This is shocking for me but I am trying to save money for our impending wedding in April.
I don't know if it is because I am a woman that I have such longings for certain foods or just because I love to cook. I love to create some wonderful dish and then eat it...watch others enjoy it!
I am thinking I am going to have to make hot dogs for dinner tomorrow or at least in the near future!
To put emotions of food is a completely reasonable thing in my opinion. We eat with our eyes, smell the food cooking, touch the finished product. So why not feel like eating it? Why waste time eating things that do not inspire us? Or waste time cooking things that aren't as desirable as they could be? Nourishment can be creative and fun! Thus says the hobby queen! So it must be true right?

I do agree! And I certainly do FEEL like eating things a lot... And drinking, actually. Sometimes I just go MAD for say, lemonade, when I'm not generally a fizzy drink fanatic.
ReplyDeleteFirstly, that cake in the other post looks delicious. (I don't much like cake either. I love baking them, but eating them... Not so much.)
Secondly, congratulations on your engagement.
Thirdly, thank you for your kind comments on my blog!
I'm very glad to see you writing about something that inspires you, no matter what it is.
