Hunger is the Best Sauce
Posted: Fri Sep 04, 2009 4:58 pm
I've been getting emails this week thanking me for the AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS bentos I've been sending my husband to work with, and at night getting these outrageous compliments about how WONDERFUL dinner was.
Now, I'm not gonna be modest. I am a good cook, bordering on gourmet.
However...
I've been sending him to work with a bento for MONTHS, and I cook dinner most nights. I haven't been making anything different from what I usually make, nor using any special cooking techniques.
The difference? He's been No-Sing. So he's HUNGRY come mealtime.
I was thinking about it over my own lunch today. (Left-over jambalaya in a bento with added fresh veggies and sliced strawberries OM NOM NOM). After I ate (alone) I said out loud, "My GOD, that was DELICIOUS!"
It was just leftovers and some sliced veggies, mindja. But because I was hungry, it was WONDERFUL. I love that. I love food and I think it's cool that doing No-S I enjoy it MORE.
With that in mind, I offer some Mark Twain: The Appetite Cure
