life in my world...

I live in a small world...by my own choice.... My family and friends sustain me....I really don't need much else...except to talk about food....yep.....I love food..... It is a good thing that it is necessary for life....and that it tastes good.....and that there is enjoyment in creating it....because all of those things are part of the food experience.....in my world..... I really believe that you either have a natural desire to create and eat food or it is almost a burden......necessary to continue whatever drives you......well I admit that reading and food drive me.....welcome to my world.... I really don't talk about what I read because the kind of stories I read are my escape....and what is an escape for me will not necessarily work in the same way for someone else....I have a lot of books....and I read everyday.... But food....ah....we can talk about food.....I love to create something that appeals to the visual as well as the taste buds....both are important.... I love to create out of my refrigerator.....out of leftovers or whatever I normally stock in my pantry. I usually do not go to the grocery store and buy things for a specific recipe....I create from what is on hand.....and I would much rather cook for a small group of people....could be just my husband and myself....or a small group of six or seven people....much bigger than that and the pleasure is gone.....So there you have it....a small glimpse into my world....and what did I make recently that brought me pleasure....banana ice cream with toffee chips....yummm...it was really good....and easy....
