So not to change the nature of this blog, but to introduce an element that was always meant to be here. Food is good. It is yummy. It has the ability to change people, to inspire them, to shake them to their cores. It is also frackin sexy as hell.
Let's all be honest, show me the person who never used their culinary powers to seduce the girl/boy and I will show you either a liar or someone who doesn't deserve to cook.
Just reread this in Julie&Julia ( I know, we have all read it, but damn, the girl can really write):
"Now, this is going to be a stretch for some people, but I believe that calves' liver is the single sexiest food that there is. This is a conclusion I've come to relatively recently, because like almost everyone else on the planet, I've spent most of my life hating and despising liver. The reason people despise liver is that to eat it you must submit to it-- just like you must submit to a really stratospheric fuck. Remember when you were nineteen and you went at it like it was a sporting event? Well liver is the opposite of that. With liver you've got to will yourself to slow down. You've got to give yourself over to everything that's a little repulsive, a little scary, a little just TOO MUCH about it.
When you buy it from the butcher, when you cook it in a pan, when you eat it, slowly, you never can get away from the feral fleshiness of it. Liver forces you to access taste buds you didn't know you had, and it's hard to open yourself to it. Just like really good sex. "
So this is what is on my mind. Now I just need to meet someone who agrees!!!
