So, I just finished my dinner at a close friend of mine, who is also my photography mentor, and someone who I enjoy listening to and learning from.. Little things in life..
My friend and I have been trying to catch up for a week or so and one of us is always busy.. So, today we found it was a good time.. Since i have been craving spaghitti for couple of days, I sent him a text message before I head to his to tell him to cook something.. After all, he is a self pro-claimed chef – who never brags and when he does, you won’t believe it until you taste it.
So, I end up arriving to his and we catch up while he is enjoying the process of preparing the food for cooking. The little things you do that give you time to think while you are doing an activity. Thinking while you are cutting the veggies, while staring the food, while waiting for something to heat up..
So, he ended up preparing 3 dishes.: stir fried chicken with mixed veggies – Asian style, baked potatoes with pickles, and olive salad with green thyme and tomato.
Alright, so I don’t state facts, or bother to write a post about something unless it was a kick-ass, super delicious, and uniquly different meal that I have enjoyed. I know I have enjoyed the meal when
- I did not bother to think of drinking water through out the meal and my friends all know how important it is to have a drink while eating – which i know is not healthy.
- I actually asked him to stop eating the salad because it was so damn good.
- my other senses actually stopped operating and my taste sense got an “tastgasm”
The meal was so good that I stopped the music playing the background, started closing my eyes while eating, and enjoyed the food. I did not feel thirst or wanted to drink water either. It was so good, that I actually am impressed with the fact I felt, I have not used my taste sense in quite long time.
It is always hard to explain things in life that has a different experience. It is hard to explain a salsa dance without the song, it’s hard to express a beautiful place without a picture, it is hard to explain a great meal without tasting.
So, if I call you for a party at my place and tell you that Chef S is coming, make sure you don’t miss out!
Thank you God for the little things in life that makes our days better.
