Food is an Interesting Thing

Posted on June 30th, 2009 in Tips and Tricks by NewsCrawler

I love to prepare food, experiment with food, and especially eat food. If you think about it, though, it is crazy to think about how much of our life we spend on our meals. If we were to add up all the preparation time, eating time, clean up time, and when eating out, the travel time, we can easily use up half of every day just on food.

Something else that is interesting to me is how our taste for food can change and evolve. As a youth I had my mealtime favorites of pizza, lasagna, hamburgers, etc. I ate my vegetables when required, but did not enjoy them at all. Now I have a large vegetable garden of my own. I look forward to the harvest of my squash, broccoli, and spinach. I previously did not like any type of fish, however, with the encouragement of my wife, I now love salmon and halibut.

We have an amazing selection of restaurants to choose from. One night we might make our selection from the gourmet Louisiana grills. The next we may choose a Chinese Cuisine. Today, more than ever, many of the choices we have include healthy eating as well.

Experimenting with my own cooking has really opened my eyes to the diversity of foods and tastes. You would never guess that adding a spoonful of peanut butter to hummus, and then mixing that together with salsa would be an amazing dip for chips. Food is an interesting thing – especially is you use a Louisiana grill to really bring out the unique flavors of each dish.
